The basic unit with CPu

The core element of the AC 800F is a high-perform

ance processor with rapid bit processing properties

making it ideal for use in automation technology.

Mechanical design of AC 800F

The AC 800F process station has a mechanical

design similar to that used in programmable logic

controls. Its front panel connection technique makes

it exceptionally easy to assemble and to service,

also allowing it to be mounted on the wall without

difficulty.

All AC 800F modules are inserted into racks from

the front and secured in position with screws. The

modules are activated using a lock switch, which

conceals the upper screw opening. The lock switch

must be opened to reach the upper screw opening.

This signals the wish to remove the module to the

CPU module, and the fieldbus is automatically shut

down. As a result, the remote I/O and field device

outputs have the opportunity to assume configured

safety values, avoiding undefined states when the

module is removed.

All modules are surrounded by metal casing when

installed, which gives them optimum mechanical and

electrical protection.

All casing materials used are simply screwed together,

allowing them to be separated for future recycling.

Last but not least, Freelance 800F has taken environ

mental protection into account by using a minimal

amount of paint.
