1794 FLEX I/O

Product Overview

FLEX I/O Modules

FLEX I/O offers all the functions of larger rack-based I/O without the space requirements. Its cost effectiveness, flexibility, modularity, and reliability have made it the most popular distributed I/O platform with over 4 million modules sold.

FLEX I/O helps eliminate multiple long wiring runs, reduces terminations per point, decreases engineering and installation costs and time, and substantially reduces downtime. It complements all processor platforms from Rockwell Automation for a distributed I/O solution.

Your FLEX I/O system can communicate on EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, and many other open networks including, but not limited to, Remote I/O, PROFIBUS DP, and Interbus-S. Independently select the I/O, termination style, and network to meet your application needs. Adapters and other components are available for adding to your system as your requirements change.
