DeviceNet I/O Platforms
On-Machine Distributed I/O
On-Machine (IP67) distributed I/O does not require an additional enclosure, allowing for easier maintenance. On-Machine I/O is available in modular, block, safety, and embedded I/O styles. Modular I/O is a system of interface cards and communications adapters that interface directly to the sensors and actuators of the machine/process and communicate their status to the controller via a communication network. It allows the designer to mix and match I/O interfaces and communications adapters. Block I/O is a complete assembly of sensor and actuator interface points including a network adapter. It may or may not include a power supply and is available in fixed configurations. Embedded I/O is a printed circuit board for machine-embedded applications. It can be mounted directly inside or on a machine, in the side-channel of a conveyor, or within a field replaceable unit. These printed circuit boards are ideal for applications restricted by space limitations, applications requiring highly distributed I/O close to sensors and actuators, and applications with an enclosure provided. Safety block I/O can be used with Rockwell Automation safety controllers, to communicate on DeviceNet using CIP Safety.
