SIEMENS has introduced the CU240E-2 range of control units, extending its SINAMICS G120 portfolio with Profibus versions.
Siemens says it minimised the I/O structure and eliminated sensor evaluation for the E-range, rendering the CU240E-2 a cost-effective alternative to the CU240S.
The CU240E-2 range includes the Safe Torque Off safety function. According to Siemens, even though the control unit operates without sensor, it offers full safety functionalities.
