As such, the RP can easily be
retrofitted.
The RP also supports one IP-camera to
be installed on the network.

Ethernet Switch
The Ethernet switch is not necessary if
only one DCU 210E and one RP
210E/220E is in use. These can then
be wired with an Ethernet cable
directly.
It is recommended to make use of an
Ethernet switch though, as it simplifies

Expansion
The basic system can be expanded
with more input and output channels
using the versatile RIO units (Remote
I/O).
Currently, there are RIO units for

210.
 Exhaust temperature

Panel Cut -out Connectors
The DCU and RP cut-out size is:
 153mm width, 123 mm height DCU 210E, DCU 208E, RP 210E
and RP 220E

and RP back lid.
DCU 210E and RP 210E/220E
When installing the panel make sure to
use the bundled screws and mounting
bracket.
If installing the panel on a thicker
surface than 5mm, longer flanged
screws must be used. In this case M3
16mm flanged screws is
recommended.
Make sure that the screws are not too
long, as this will damage the panel. The DCU 208E front view is the same as the
DCU 210E rear view.

Connector kit
The 200E series is not shipped with
mating connectors.
A complete kit is available containing
all of the mating terminal blocks used
on the 200 E series.
Kit 1006479 contains:
 4 Deutsch DT series connectors
(DT06-12SA).
 50 hand crimp sockets 0.5 -1.0
mm2 (16-20 AWG).
 10 hand crimp sockets 1.0 -2.0

 50 sealing plugs for unused
terminals.
