DeviceNet I/O Platforms

In-Cabinet Distributed I/O

In-Cabinet (IP20) distributed I/O requires an enclosure for environmental protection, and is available in modular, block, and safety 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. Safety block I/O can be used with Rockwell Automation safety controllers, to communicate on DeviceNet using CIP Safety.

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.

XM Specialty Modules

The XM series is a group of intelligent, specialty I/O modules designed for machinery protection and condition monitoring. The XM modules monitor critical machinery parameters such as vibration, temperature, position, and speed. This information is processed within the XM modules in real-time using advanced amplitude and frequency alarming techniques to determine whether machinery is operating within acceptable parameters. When limits are exceeded, XM modules can notify operators, capture data and/or actuate relays as appropriate for the detected fault. The XM series of modules communicates over DeviceNet or may be deployed as stand-alone solutions using built-in 4…20 mA outputs, integral relays and buffered outputs.
