Field I/O

Field I/O

For controller installations where end devices are located long distances away, field I/O or distributed I/O systems can greatly improve system efficiency and reduce wiring costs. Localizing field terminations at the machine or device being monitored/controlled allows for easier installations/modifications, shorter wire runs, and faster troubleshooting.

Protos X� I/O

The Protos X "Xpansion" I/O System ...

using serial Modbus RTU (RS-485) or Ethernet Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP communication protocols

The Protos X compact, modular field I/O system

allows a user to install remote field I/O devices without having to invest in another controller. The unique slim design and low cost of the Protos X I/O makes it the most practical distributed I/O available today. The ultra-slender form factor makes it easy to install on or near machine or application components, saving time and excess field wiring and speeding up troubleshooting.

The ultra-compact design makes it perfect for applications where a typical PLC or I/O solution simply would not fit
Unique interlocking design of the terminals means the data and power buses are carried from module to module and used only when needed
Four Bus Couplers that utilize Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP protocols

STRIDE Field I/O ... New!

The Stride Field I/O family of modules provides a simple and economical means to connect inputs and outputs to a Modbus TCP communications network. Each module operates as a standalone Modbus TCP server, and can be configured via a built-in web server. Analog input, output and thermocouple modules have fully isolated or isolated-in-pairs channels for noise-sensitive applications.

Interfaces remote I/O points to a Modbus TCP network via Ethernet 10/100 Base-T
Digital inputs, discrete relay and transistor outputs
Analog current, voltage, resistance & temperature inputs; analog current and voltage outputs

Terminator I/O

Terminator Field I/O provides you with an industrial I/O system with remote I/O, distributed I/O and digital I/O module capabilities. It combines the I/O points with their field terminations into a modular package to save panel space and money. With Terminator I/O, you can use distributed I/O nodes close to field devices for faster and more efficient wiring and troubleshooting.

Network interface modules supporting Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNET, MODBUS and Koyo remote I/O; some adapters include an on-board RS232 serial port
Discrete and analog industrial I/O modules with modular terminal bases
Configuration flexibility by plugging together a network interface module with up to 16 I/O modules. Use local expansion or large I/O drops. No more confining I/O bases.
AC or DC power supplies. For high power systems, combine multiple supplies on a single I/O set
Horizontal or vertical DIN rail mounting
