New I/O modules simplify smart machines
The new Allen Bradley ArmorBlock I/O options from Rockwell Automation can be mounted anywhere on a machine to provide the advantage of shorter cable runs and lower wiring costs. They use nickel-plated zinc die-cast housing, have QuickConnect functionality and offer diagnostics in an EtherNet/IP universal digital I/O block to reduce both commissioning and troubleshooting times.
Three IO-Link hub blocks help to reduce design complexity by allowing more devices through the IO-Link master and an M12 L-coded power connector on selected blocks supports higher current. This allows more blocks to be daisy-chained and again results in lower wiring and installation costs. For users with separate I/O blocks for digital input and output, the ArmorBlock I/O modules provide 16-channel self-configurable digital I/O with flexibility to be used as the digital input or output depending on the application needs.
