SIOS is a flexibly configured remote CAN peripheral device, adaptable to application, intelligent and future proof. A SIOS peripheral consists of at least one CAN gateway and one power module. The gateway and further I/O modules are powered by the first power module. SIOS modules consist of an I/O card and clamping module for wiring. Wiring takes place without tools via spring contacts. The modules are hot-swappable and can therefore be changed when energized.
The interchanging of modules is impossible due to the mechanical coding. There are SIOS gateways with different bus systems: SIOS-CAN as CAN bus systems and SIOS-TCPIP as an Ethernet bus system (in progress). A node consists of a maximum of 64 modules. The maximum number of nodes is 99. Because of the large number of nodes and the maximum number of 64 modules, the complete CANopen protocol can be utilized fully. Up to 25,344 digital I/Os or analogue values can be used in the maximum configuration per network, limited to one type of module.
