Thanks to two embedded Ethernet switch ports, the ioLogik E1200
remote Ethernet I/O allows you to create daisy-chain topologies for
flexible device cabling. In a distributed Ethernet data acquisition
application, panels, units, and cabinets are often located at remote
For some remote automation applications, the control room and
sensors are located far away from each other, and often a single
remote I/O module is deployed to collect data from all the sensors.
Peer-to-peer communication has little or no limitations as it replaces
cables by integrating multiple I/O signals over a single network
cable to transmit input-to-output controls without the aid of PLCs
For Modbus devices that are controlled and detected by fixed
addresses, users need to spend a vast amount of time researching
and verifying the configurations. Users need to locate each device’s
detailed information, such as the I/O channel and the addresses as
defined by the vendors to enable the initial address or the start address
sites where space is limited. Daisy-chaining ioLogik E1200 units to
each other or other nearby Ethernet devices not only saves space, but
also drastically reduces cabling and deployment time.
or controllers. With the peer-to-peer communication feature, which
supports channel-to-channel mapping, the ioLogik E1200 allows
simultaneous multiple target transmissions. In addition, the ioLogik
E1200 supports up to 16 channels for transmission over Ethernet
(based on an emitter and receiver I/O pair).
of a SCADA system or PLC. The ioLogik E1200, with user-definable
Modbus/TCP addressing, offers greater flexibility, and setup is easy.
Instead of worrying about the definitions, users simply configure the
function and address map to fit their needs.
