Core positioning and key features of the product

Functional positioning: Designed specifically for the FM 458 functional module, this I/O expansion module provides multiple types of signal interfaces and can simultaneously process digital, analog, and encoder signals, meeting the signal acquisition and control requirements in complex industrial scenarios.

Key difference: Clearly labeled "NOT SPAREGART COMPATIBLE TO EXM438", which means it is incompatible with the old EXM 438 module and cannot be used as a replacement for it.

Power supply characteristics: Supports two power supply modes (5V DC, 24V DC, 24V DC requires external setting), with a typical current consumption of 1.5A; the encoder power supply output is about 14V (non isolated), with electronic short circuit protection and a rated output current of 100mA.
