14 Select I/O Modules
1794 FLEX I/O Modules
FLEX I/O is a cost-effective, flexible, modular I/O system for distributed
applications and offers all the functions of larger rack-based I/O without the
space requirements. You can independently select the I/O type, termination,
and network, appropriate for your specific application. This means one I/O
product line can fit all your needs. The 1794 FLEX I/O modules feature:
• modular design, which reduces costs by solving a large range of
application requirements with one I/O architecture.
• small size, which reduces packaging costs.
• individual wire-termination locations, which reduce purchasing costs
and complexity, as well as packaging costs.
• diagnostics and removal and insertion under power (RIUP), which
lowers the mean time to repair equipment and leverages your control
investment.
• flexible communications, which helps to control future costs by
providing an economical migration path.
PLC-5 controllers support 1794 I/O over these networks:
• Remote I/O
• ControlNet
• DeviceNet
