SMC Drive Keypad EX245-SPRI-X171

Description:

The SMC EX245-SPR1-X171 is a high-performance PROFINET serial interface unit designed for use with SMC’s EX245 modular fieldbus systems. It serves as a specialized drive interface/operator module that connects a central PLC to industrial valve manifolds and I/O modules, specifically supporting AIDA-compliant fiber optic or push-pull power and communication connections.
Protocol: PROFINET IO (RT), compatible with PROFIsafe for safety-critical applications.
Capacity: Supports up to 8 modular slots, allowing for a maximum of 128 digital inputs and 64 digital outputs.
Valve Control: Capable of controlling up to 32 solenoid valves (specifically VQC1000/2000/4000/5000 and VSS8/VSR8 series).
Power Supply: Operates on 24 VDC (+20% / -15%). US1 (logic/sensors) at 6A max; US2 (valves/loads) at 4A max.
Environmental Protection: IP65 rated when fully installed with appropriate seal caps, making it resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets.
Advanced Functions: Supports MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) for daisy-chain/ring topologies and Fast Start Up (approx. 0.5s) to minimize machine downtime.
To integrate the EX245-SPR1-X171 into your network, you must use the appropriate GSDML file within your PROFINET master's software (e.g., Siemens STEP 7 or TIA Portal) to reflect the specific hardware configuration of your modular station.
