The Modicon Quantum Automation Series provides a highly flexible architecture that
ensures a cost-effective and high performance control solution, regardless of the
configuration. From centralized systems to highly distributed systems to networked
distributed control schemes, Quantum provides the right solution.
Quantum I/O can be used in three major architectures to meet control system
requirements:
b Local I/O.
b Remote I/O (RIO).
b Distributed I/O (DIO).
Whether your requirments are for improved space utilization, reduced installation
costs, high performance, or connectivity to HMIs and host computers, Quantum I/O
has an architecture that fits. Combining these different I/O architectures with
Quantum's wide range of communication options, an optimal control system can be
configured and installed to meet the most challenging control requirements.
