This PLC I/O module from Siemens is designed to help you build your real-time isochronous industrial Ethernet network in line, star or ring topologies. It functions as a messenger between your processor and an I/O device. You can rely on the unit's optimal performance in harsh environments, thanks to its rugged metal enclosure. The industry-standard RJ45 connections provide bending and strain relief to help prevent cables from cracking. A row of LEDs allows you to quickly assess status information, including power supply, data communication and signalling contact. You can use a module like this in any automated industrial application, such as robotics systems.

• Optional rail or wall mounting to best suit your application's needs
• Real-time function offers the advantage of short cycle times with accurate clock pulse for productivity
• IP30-rated housing is protected against tools and wires larger than 2.5mm
• Compact design with dimensions of 125 (H) x 60 (W) x 124mm (D) to maximise board packing efficiency

An I/O module like this is suitable for installation in a control cabinet together with the stations that you want to connect it to.
