New remote I/O module PDP67 PN

saves space in the control cabinet and in

the stockroom - Flexible, decentralised

automation – Safety included

flexible solution for monitoring safety
and non-safety-related sensors and
actuators decentrally, in environments
with extreme temperatures. In addition
to applications in the packaging
technology, robotics or press sectors,
PDP67 PN is particularly suitable for the
automotive sector thanks to a connector
pin assignment to the AIDA standard
(automation initiative of German
automotive manufacturers).
