Embedded I/O Modules
With embedded I/O, you can buy
just what you need to develop
your machines. If you’re a
machine builder who uses internal
engineering resources, embedded
I/O presents a cost-effective
alternative. Quickly incorporate
off-the-shelf printed circuit boards
into your development cycle
and save the packaging dollars
typically associated with providing
panels and existing enclosures.
Now, with support for EtherNet/IP
and Device Level Ring (DLR)
topology, you gain added
Leverage Proven Design Technology at a Lower Cost
cost savings and redundant
communications for improved Embedded printed circuit boards provide you with a standard interface
system availability. between the input device and machine actuators. You can leverage
proven Rockwell Automation design technology and reliability without
the cost of custom-packaged solutions — critical for cost-sensitive
machine-embedded applications.
An available expansion board and universal I/O reduce your initial
material investment, minimize inventory, reduce cost per I/O expansion,
and maximize I/O utilization for each application.
Use Embedded I/O in Diverse Application Types
Machine embedded I/O circuit boards are ideal in conveyor and sortation
automation, robotics I/O operator interface panels, packaging machines,
highly distributed lift applications, semiconductor material handling,
and warehouse automation conveyors.
Improve System Resilience
With the 1756-EN2TR supervisor-capable device, dual port adapters enable the use of the ring topology for greater
system resilience.
