Distributed I/O
On-Machine
1792 ArmorBlock MaXum
Give your industrial control system a bit more room to breath. Offering greater flexibility in severe industrial environments, ArmorBlock MaXum I/O takes advantage of KwikLink™ flat media system for DeviceNet™ communications. The KwikLink cable system passes directly through the ArmorBlock MaXum block, requiring less space when mounting to machinery. Not only that, the entire system is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, virtually eliminating the number of enclosures or trays to protect the media or block in harsh environments.
Advantages
- Choice of network media allows flexibility in choosing the DeviceNet media best suited for your application
- Rotary address switches for easy and error-free setting of DeviceNet node address
- Autobaud detection eliminates potential for incorrect baud rate problems
- Short-circuit, open-wire and no-load detection provides point analysis of wiring and sensor problems
- Universal PNP/NPN inputs give you the ability to interface with either sourcing or sinking devices
- Separate top and cable base construction makes replacement of modules easy without disconnecting from the network
- User selectable input filter timers minimize false input transitions
- Choose polled, cyclic or change-of-state DeviceNet operation to best suit your application
- Electronically protected outputs with selectable output latching protects outputs from over-current and short-circuit conditions
- Hardware watchdog circuitry puts outputs in known state if internal failure occurs
- ODVA V2.0 compliance tested ensures a reliable DeviceNet product that’s fully compatible with all other DeviceNet compliant products
- DeviceLogix™ provides control of outputs inside the block
