Remote I/O modules provide flexible options for distributed applications

Dinkle International is now stocking and shipping the versatile iO-GRID NEMO industrial-grade remote I/O modules. The iO-GRID NEMO series provides several options for integrating discrete input/output (I/O) signals distributed throughout a site, and connecting them to microcontrollers, PLCs, or other host systems for smart digitalization, monitoring, and control.

The iO-GRID NEMO series is available in versions supporting five leading industrial Ethernet protocols: PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link IE Field Basic. Ethernet models include two RJ45 ports with an integrated two-port switch for easy daisy-chain expansion, while CC-Link models use terminal blocks for network connection and pass-through to the next station. LED indicators provide clear status information, and firmware can be updated via a standard USB Type-C connection.

Modules operate throughout a wide ambient temperature range of -10 to +60DegC using standard 24 VDC, and they mount securely to DIN rails with a reliable mechanical and grounding connection. Detachable terminal blocks facilitate installation and replacement. A push-in design and large wire entries require no tools and makes wiring completion fast and easy. All models are CE and UL certified.

A range of models cover common signaling needs, all in 24 VDC sinking or sourcing versions:

·       32-channel discrete input

·       32-channel discrete output

·       16-channel discrete input/output

Daudin remote I/O solutions, such as iO-GRID NEMO, provide a practical way to interface with distributed discrete I/O points, and to digitize them for use with most any host system. Remote I/O products like the iO-GRID NEMO are essential for digital transformation of many types of facilities and equipment. Standard products address most applications, and Daudin also offers customization via extensive hardware, firmware, software, labeling, branding, and application-specific design capabilities. Daudin is committed to collaborating with end users to create innovative solutions for intelligent and connected power, networking, and communications designs.
