SM-Applications Plus
SM-Applications Plus offers all of • Drive-to-drive communications - SM-Applications Plus
the features of the SM-Applications option modules include a high speed drive-to-drive
Lite module but with additional network called CTNet, this network is optimised for
communications and high speed I/O. intelligent drive systems offering flexible peer to peer
SM-Applications Plus is programmed communications. The bus has the capability to connect
using SyPTPro system programming tool. to remote I/O, operator panels, Mentor DC drives and
PCs using an OPC server
• Inputs/Outputs – The module has two digital inputs
and two digital outputs for high-speed I/O operations
such as position capture and actuator firing
• High speed serial port - The module features a serial
communications port supporting standard protocols
such as Modbus for connection to external devices such
as operator interface panels
