Slave PLC's

Kuhnke Slave PLC's are those which use communication protocols to report back to a Master PLC. These Kuhnke PLC products are currently suitable for PROFIBUS DP or in most cases, CANopen. Slaves act as intelligent expansion units of Masters located elsewhere on the network and connected by shielded two wire architecture.

Generally a Master PLC will connect to multiple Slaves (up to 128 in some cases). Slave units are mainly installed close to the devices or inputs/outputs, or integrated in to drives/enocders. Kuhnke's main PROFIBUS DP Slave PLC range is the 690 series, whilst Kuhnke 682, 683, 684 & 685 drives and drive controllers are actually PROFIBUS DP integrated.

	690E Series T A complete range of expandable PLC's.
	Drives Kuhnke AC & DC drives.
	691 Series IP65 rated I/O devices.
