Function and Positioning

The 3IF671.9 acts as the communication hub and protocol converter in SYSTEM 2005 series systems, expanding CPU connectivity and supporting multi-network interconnection. It independently handles protocol conversion, data framing, and error checking to reduce CPU load. Galvanic isolation on RS485/RS422 and CAN interfaces suppresses EMI and protects the controller from field voltage spikes. It supports CANopen, Modbus RTU, and ASCII protocols, enabling connection to sensors, drives, HMIs, and third-party PLCs.
