Remote I/O Networking

Remote I/O networking is the cabling, couplers and protocol hardware that ties distributed I/O drops back to a controller, carrying every field signal over one link instead of a core per point. Integrators specify it when drops have to be chained across a plant, when a coupler has failed and taken a whole segment down, or when a network has to be extended to a cell that was added later.

 

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock remote I/O networking hardware across competing lines, in a full range of protocols, couplers and cable types, so you can match the protocol the controller already speaks, compare couplers and cable types brand to brand, and extend a segment without re-engineering the network.
