-Designed specifically for Remote I/O Systems
-Expand I/O to Maxiflex Systems to 1000 I/O
-Implement Dual Redundant Control Systems
-Connect up to 3 additional Remote Slave I/O Bases
-Connect Remote I/O to Maxiflex CPUs up to 10km away
The M1593A Remote I/O Conet Link (RIOc) Module allows up to three Maxiflex remote I/O Bases to be connected to a Maxiflex Master Base. In addition, it can be used in redundant Maxiflex remote I/O and control applications.
The MAXIFLEX RIOc Link Module is designed specifically for adding remote I/O to Maxiflex Systems and is placed next to the CPU in Slot 1 of a Master Base.
In addition, an RIOc I/O Scanner (M1249A) is placed in the CPU slot of each the Remote I/O Bases.
This I/O Scanner automatically scans all I/O on its Base, and communicates this data with the Maxiflex M1593A Remote I/O Link Module in the Master Base, making the remote I/O data available in the Master CPU's "Data Interchange Table (DIT)".
Up to 3 Remote I/O Bases, each with its own M1249A I/O Scanner can be connected to a single Master CPU Base, making a total of 1000 I/O accessible from the Master CPU.
The RIOc Scanner CPU automatically identifies the presence of I/O modules and performs I/O scanning of these modules, making this data available to the Remote I/O Link Module in the Master Base without the need for any programming.
The data link to the Maxiflex Remote I/O Link Module operates on the Conet data highway, providing an event-driven token-passing ruggedised industrial network capable of running up to 10km.
