Machines and plant equipment, for

reasons of competitiveness are becoming even more
complex, the amount of information required from sensors
and actuating devices is constantly expanding, causing
heavier implementation and higher wiring costs.

The ABB Procontic CS 31 is designed to simplify

implementation and wiring.

The CS 31 is a decentralized automation system.

The system is ideally suited to applications where

modularity and cost reduction are key factors.

The CS 31 system comprises of the following :

– a central unit, enclosed within a compact case which
can be screw or DIN rail mounted,
– remote input/output plug-in units, wich are easily
removeable. The plug-in base can be screw or DIN
rail mounted,
– a simple twisted pair wire arrangement (RS 485),
which is utilized for connection of the central unit to
the I/O units.

This time is equal to :

– with a master central unit serie 90 :

T rb = T offset + T communication time

– with a master central unit serie 30 :

T rb = T offset + T communication time + n * 100 (µs)

with :
– T offset = 2 000 µs
– T communication time : see table
– n = number of slaves on the bus
