Distributed I/O

Distributed I/O systems have paved the way for advanced automation, acting as extensions of the central control system. At the heart of many industrial applications is the programmable logic controller, and distributed I/O modules serve as the intermediary between this controller and field devices. Instead of connecting sensors and actuators directly to the controller, these modular devices provide an interface, allowing data communication even over long cable runs.

One of the main advantages of distributed I/O is its ability to be installed in remote places, far from the main control cabinets. This eliminates the need for long cable runs, making installations tidier and often more cost-effective. They can be situated closer to sensors and actuators, ensuring optimized data availability and swift response times in critical process applications.

Distributed I/O systems, like SIMATIC ET or modules from Allen Bradley, offer both digital and analog input and output signals. Digital output, for example, might send a straightforward on/off command to a device, whereas analog signals handle a range of values, suitable for tasks like temperature measurements. Given the diverse nature of automation tasks, having this flexibility is paramount.
