You need a handful of signals somewhere in the plant where there is no PLC — and you do not want to build a bus coupler, a power supply and half a cabinet around them. That is what the PN4 is for: electronics, PROFINET port and terminals sit in one housing 25 mm wide. Wire it up, load the GSDML into your project, done.
🏭 Typical applications
Distributed signals along conveyors: collect limit switches, photoelectric sensors and valves at the conveyor section instead of running twenty wires back to the main cabinet.
Expanding an existing S7: when the slots on the central rack are full, you simply hang the PN4 on the existing PROFINET network.
Machine retrofit: the existing controller stays, the peripherals move to PROFINET — without replanning the wiring inside the machine.
🔌 Versions with 16 channels
PN4-1600B: 16 digital inputs, PNP, 24 V DC, 4 mA input current, 3 ms filter time
PN4-0016B: 16 digital outputs, PNP, max. 500 mA per channel, with overvoltage and overcurrent protection
PN4-0808B: 8 inputs and 8 outputs in the same housing
All channels are optically isolated (500 V AC) and rated for resistive and inductive loads.
⚙️ Core specifications
Bus: PROFINET, 2 x RJ45 (100 Mbit/s), up to 100 m per segment, CAT5
Power supply: 24 V DC (18 – 36 V), galvanic isolation 500 V AC
Environment: -10 °C to +60 °C operating, -20 °C to +75 °C storage, 95 % relative humidity without condensation, IP20
Form factor: 102 x 72 x 25 mm, 130 g, 35 mm DIN rail, pluggable spring-loaded terminals
Diagnostics: a green LED next to every channel, plus PWR, RDY, SF and BF on the housing
🔗 Compatibility
The PN4 registers as an ordinary PROFINET device. Tested and in use with Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 (TIA Portal), it works just as well with CODESYS controllers, Beckhoff TwinCAT and any other master that can read a GSDML. No vendor software, no licence.
🔧 Mounting and commissioning
The module clips onto a 35 mm DIN rail. The terminal blocks are pluggable — you wire them up in the cabinet and plug them on afterwards. To swap a module in the field you pull the block, take the device out and plug the block back on: not a single wire is disconnected.
