I/O modules enable process control with the need for a separate PLC
Two new series of I/O modules for Control Techniques’ drives have been designed to enable applications to be managed without the need for a PLC or SCADA system. In the first configuration, add-on RTMoE or Modbus TCP Remote I/O modules connect directly via the on-board Ethernet port of the M7XX series drives, or via the on-board Ethernet port of the MC210 Machine Control option modules.
In the second configuration option, add-on EtherCAT Remote I/O modules connect via the on-board EtherCAT port of the MCe or MCz controllers. They can also connect through any EtherCAT port on any PLC or controller.
