2 Overview FLEX I/O and FLEX Integra Product Data
Overview
Low Installation, Wiring,
and Maintenance Costs
FLEX I/O consists of a terminal strip with an I/O interface. Use the
terminal strip on the terminal base to wire your field devices directly.
Differing from FLEX I/O, FLEX Integra integrates the terminal strip and
I/O modules into one compact unit. Wiring directly saves you:
• installation and testing time
• additional wiring and external terminal blocks
• control marshalling panel space
FLEX I/O and FLEX Integra provide additional savings if system
problems develop. Combining your field-wiring terminations and the
I/O interface into the same location saves you time and money by
making your system easier to maintain and troubleshoot. Additionally,
the full-featured FLEX I/O system allows you to remove and insert
modules under backplane power without disrupting your system.
