Press Release Summary:
IP20 Compact I/O modules of size 6.7 x 3.2 x 1.2 in. are mountable directly on machine or on DIN rail. Units collect discrete I/O signals and transfer to controller over fieldbus. Modules include signal adaptation and handle digital signals, rotational encoder evaluation, gate measurement, event counters, or pulse width modulation. Analog modules come with temperature inputs, strain gauge evaluation, or resistance measurement. Systems are equipped with CAN I/O interfaces or X2X Link.

I/O Modules for Distributed Applications
IP20 Compact I/O modules offer outstanding solutions when it comes to applications that handle distributed I/O signals, ranging from simple digital inputs to SSI encoders. In addition to being able to mount this system directly on the machine or on a Din rail, its optimal performance and compact size of 6.7 x 3.2 x 1.2 inches (H x W x D) translates into nearly unlimited possibilities.
Remote connection of peripherals
The space-saving Compact I/O system modules reduce wiring of sensors and actuators. Discrete I/O signals are collected on the modules and transferred to the controller over a fieldbus. The system is ideally suited for use in standard IP20 operating environments.
Flexibility for sensors and actuators
Compact I/O system modules already include signal adaptation for various purposes. In addition to classic digital signals, there are modules that can handle rotational encoder evaluation, gate measurement, event counters or pulse width modulation. Analog modules are also supplemented with temperature inputs, strain gauge evaluation or resistance measurement. In general the Compact I/O system always provides the right I/O combination for each application. Many variants are available from 8 to 16 Digital Inputs and Outputs up to Compact I/O modules that provide the customer with additional Analog Inputs and Outputs besides the Digital I/O.
Communicative
Compact I/O system modules are equipped with CAN I/O interfaces or X2X Link. This functionality expands the I/O backplane in the field. The Compact I/O system can be combined with all B&R controller families and other components as desired. This allows customized and cost-effective automation architecture to be created for each application.
