Distributed I/O
On-Machine
1738 ArmorPoint I/O
Based on the POINT I/O™ system, ArmorPoint is engineered with enhanced environmental characteristics, modular designs, and plug and play electronic capabilities, helping to provide you with faster installation, simpler control and reduced errors. It's quick disconnect features deliver fewer points of failure, allowing for a huge productivity boost.
Advantages
- Mounts anywhere on a machine without a cabinet—even close to sensors and actuators—resulting in shorter I/O cable runs
- Accommodates up to 63 I/O modules per network node and bus extension cables allow separation of up to five clusters for enhanced flexibility
- Smooth integration into Integrated Architecture system with full Add-On-Profiles in RSLogix™ 5000 so that no other configuration software is needed
- Compatible with EtherNet I/O, DeviceNet™ and PROFIBUS communication networks for increased communication capability
- M8, M12 and M23 with 25-pin D-shell Quick Disconnect styles for fewer points of failure
- Hardened power supplies allow for power isolation and segmentation (i.e. AC from DC, analog from digital, inputs from outputs)
- Unique latching mechanism makes replacement easy, requiring no screws
- Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) features make it possible to replace a module without disrupting network operation
- Connects directly to ArmorStart® on the same network node for easy integration
- Full and extensive I/O status diagnostic enables the PLC to monitor the health of remote I/O modules down to point level diagnostics
