Acim Nidec Remote I/O

<p>Industrial control applications typically use a PLC system to manage the process; using I/O to provide an interface to switches, relays and sensors attached to the machine.</p> <div>Control Techniques continues to lead the way with our scalable drive-hosted controller platform that ranges from the ultra-convenient onboard PLC to the powerful MCi machine/motion controller.<br> To supplement this controller platform and dramatically extend the range of applications that can benefit from this cost- and performance-optimised solution, we now have an extensive range of remote I/O. <div> </div> </div> <h2><strong>Benefits of Control Techniques RTMoE remote I/O: </strong></h2> <ul> <li>Allows the number of I/O points to be dramatically expanded over those available on the drive</li> <li>Brings greater diversity to the type of I/O points available</li> <li>Remote I/O is directly supported by any Ethernet based Unidrive, through the optional SI-Ethernet module or the Ethernet port on board of the MCi210</li> <li>Combining with an MCi210 module gives a versatile and powerful controller platform</li> </ul> <p>For applications where an industrial PLC is required, Control Techniques is able to provide an EtherCAT Remote I/O.</p> <p> </p> <h2>RTMoE or Modbus TCP Remote I/Os</h2> <p>In this configuration, add-on RTMoE / Modbus TCP Remote I/O modules connect directly via the on-board Ethernet port of the Unidrive M7XX series drives, through the optional SI-Ethernet module or via the on-board Ethernet port of the MCi210 Machine Control option modules.<br> <br> A typical configuration (as shown below) would include MCi2XX Machine Control option modules, Machine Control Studio software and the MCh040/MCh070 HMI Panels. All sensor inputs can be monitored, and outputs controlled, including LEDs, pushbuttons, temperature controls, machine status indicators and fluid flow sensors.</p> <p><img alt="" height="359" width="650" src="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Images/Products/RTMoE-or-Modbus-TCP-Remote-IOs.png"></p> <h2>EtherCAT Remote I/Os</h2> <p>In this configuration, add-on EtherCAT Remote I/O modules connect via the on-board EtherCAT port of the MCe or MCz controllers, or through any EtherCAT port on any PLC or controller.</p> <p>A typical scalable configuration (as shown below) would feature the EtherCAT Remote I/O module, used together with MCe or MCz controllers, MCi2XX Machine Control option modules, Machine Control Studio software and the MCh040/MCh070 HMI Panels. All sensor inputs can be monitored, and outputs controlled, including LEDs, pushbuttons, temperature controls, machine status indicators and fluid flow sensors.</p> <p><img alt="" height="357" width="650" src="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Images/Products/EtherCAT-Remote-IOs.png"></p>
