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.
Control Techniques continues to lead the way with our scalable drive-based controller platform that ranges from the ultra-convenient onboard PLC to the powerful MCi machine/motion controller. To supplement this controller platform and dramatically extend the range of applications that can benefit from this cost- and performance-optimized solution, we now offer an extensive range of remote I/O.
Benefits of Control Techniques RTMoE remote I/O:
Allows the number of I/O points to be dramatically expanded over those available on the drive
Brings greater diversity to the type of I/O available
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 module
The MCi210 module provides the most versatile and powerful solution
For applications where an industrial PC is required, Control Techniques can provide EtherCAT Remote I/O.
