Short description

The IM 270/W is a cost- and space-saving compact module. It combines the typical I/O design for plastic

injection molding machines in one module and offers functions for changeover point detection. In

addition to application in the plastics sector, it can also be used in other areas.

The IM 270/W supports the “fast control” concept. Innovative EtherCAT communication between the

compact module and the CPU module is used here to minimize dead times and thereby greatly reduce

reaction times. This increases the performance of the machine considerably.

Depending on the type of inputs and outputs, various diagnostic possibilities are available, such as the

detection of sensor failures or short circuits.

The IM 270/W is connected to the CPU module via EtherCAT. To adapt the I/O configuration to the

application, KeConnect C2 modules can be attached at the side directly via the K-bus.
