Phoenix Contact says that its new Inline Block I/O modules for Modbus/TCP and Profinet enable a simple and fast integration of I/O modules in Ethernet systems. Connection is established by mounting the modules onto a DIN rail, connecting the power supply and network cable, and assigning an IP address.
Equipped with 16 fixed inputs and 16 freely-assignable inputs/outputs, and with all the flexibility of a modular I/O system, the modules are adaptable for use in many applications. The function of each I/O channel is assigned simply by connecting an actuator or sensor. No parameters need to be set. Web-based management for simple configuration, SNMP services, and the possibility of getting firmware updates onsite round off the product range.
A new feature of Ethernet-capable I/Os is the integrated 3-port switch. This makes it possible to attach more Ethernet appliances to the devices via the second RJ45 socket, thus leaving ports on the structural elements free. Installation is made more flexible and it is possible to set up a linear topology, a feature well-known from fieldbus systems.
With their flat design and height of just 55 mm, the modules are well suited for use in particularly small terminal boxes. The uninterrupted communication between the Inline Block I/O modules and the modular Inline system means that the user has access to an entire range of different signals using only one I/O system.
