°C

■ Circuit boards with conformal coating

Functional principle

Electronics and connection technology are integrated in the housing. A base module is not

needed. Economy modules and modules with

separate electronics and connection technology can be fitted into a station, provided the

base modules feature tension spring connections.

The use of gateways makes economy modules completely independent from the higher

level fieldbus.
