EtherNet/IP 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 and block 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.
