SELF-CONFIGURING I/O MODULES – FLEXIBLE, FINE-GRAINED, COST-EFFECTIVE
Discover our new product family of self-configuring I/O modules. We currently provide modules with 4, 8 and 16 digital signals, which can be used bidirectionally as inputs or outputs. This allows many different applications to be implemented with the same module – simplifying planning and spare parts management.
Alternative to IO-Link hubs and Ethernet I/O blocks
The ability to configure 16 I/Os is a great alternative to comparable Ethernet or IO-Link-based I/O solutions. You not only save on the module price but also on the wiring costs. Furthermore, you benefit from a channel-specific diagnostics feature that gives you a detailed overview, even if many inputs and outputs are present.
The self-configuring I/O Modules at a glance:
- Sensors and actuators can be connected in any combination; offering you the possibility of having 2 signals per M12 connection
- An optional assignment of a fixed configuration of inputs and outputs is also possible using our software
- No M12 ports go unused thanks to a product portfolio that offers options from 4 I/Os to 16 I/Os
- 16 inputs/outputs with ASi-5 in 1.27 ms
- Cost-effective and fast collection of many inputs and outputs
- Various connection types – the ASi/AUX connection is made via profile cable, M12 connector or push-in terminal, depending on the module used
