ArmorPoint I/O
The architecture of ArmorPoint I/O is based on the POINT I/O system and reuses the circuitry of the adapter and I/O designs. The configuration of the ArmorPoint modules also reuses the methodology employed in POINT so that users can leverage their knowledge of the POINT I/O IP20 system in applying an ArmorPoint system. The system is IP67-compliant and adheres to other various certifications necessary to provide a complete On-Machine solution.ArmorPoint I/O features enhanced environmental characteristics, as well as modular designs and plug & play electronic capabilities that make this product ideal for On-Machine applications. This allows for increased speed of installation and simplicity of control applications.
