Helmholz` new TB20 I/O system is characterized by the extensive customer feedback based on practical usage. This step towards Helmholz's own decentralized I/O solution is not just the deliberate extension of the product range. More important is the fact that with decentralized modules, the components are smaller as a whole and, therefore, save space. In addition, a single I/O system will suffice even in the case of different PLC systems.

The TB20, extends the range of Helmolz's technically-consistent solutions into decentralized I/O systems. Make a start with bus couplers for PROFIBUS and CANopen® with analog or digital inputs and outputs. As an open system, the portfolio will be successively enhanced to encompass products for all conventional field busses - e.g. PROFINET, DeviceNet and Ethernet IP.

Technical Features
All the technical features of the TB20 are targetted at supporting the development aims of efficiency and optimal use. In real terms that means rapid and simple installation and maintenance. For example, the power module is already integrated in the bus coupler, and up to 64 modules can be connected per bus coupler. The modules are made up of three parts: the basic module can be simply snapped onto the rail. The electronic module and the front connector are then clipped on, just as simply, using a locking mechanism. In the same way, all parts can be removed for maintenance.

Modules are available for two, four, eight and even 16 channels, a granularity that ensures the minimum of unused channels. This in turn reduces the price per channel. In addition each module is fitted with a freely usable auxiliary terminal, that can be used flexibly, for instance for additional voltage, screen or earth. Last but not least, the design facilitates a clear and unambiguous description of the channels using description strips that can be printed on a laser printer. Even in assembled state these are easily visible and thus ensure an unambiguous allocation of the terminal to the corresponding channel LED. All TB20 components can be configured easily, leading to rapid commissioning.
