Choose flexibility and high perf ormance in your architecture…
The QEIO solution is built around existing Modicon
™
Quantum
™
technology, and utilizes SE
I/O modules. This solution's flexibility allows I/O architectures to be designed to meet the
requirements of a wide range of control applications. The choice of an I/O bus architecture based
on Ethernet functionality eliminates the limitations of traditional, proprietary network topologies,
while providing a high level of performance.
Flexible
> For the connection of your instrumentation
Easy addition of instrumentation thanks
to FDT / DTM technology.
> For the future extension of DIO
No need to add cables – just connect your new
DIO island to the existing QEIO network via
service port or switch. It's possible to mix DIO
and RIO on the same media.
> For the design of your architecture
Choice of topologies:
• RIO: Daisy chain loop
• DIO: Ring, star and bus
> For the size of RIO drop and DIO
Up to 31 drops of QEIO. Each drop can be 1 or 2
racks, each rack 4 to16 slots. Future evolution of
QEIO will allow Modicon M340 to be used as I/O
drops to further expand the exibility.
> For the online modication of your
installation
Add an I/O module without stopping your
process using the Change Conguration on the
Fly (CCOTF) function of Unity
™
Pro. Benet from
the continuity of communication with your
SCADA due to the OPC Factory Server during
the online changes.
