Introduction to Remote I/O

Remote Automation

Thanks to its two embedded Ethernet switches, 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

In remote automation applications, the control room and sensors

are often far removed, making wiring over long distances a constant

challenge. With peer-to-peer networking, users may now map a pair

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.

of ioLogik E1200 series modules so that input values will be directly

transferred to output channels, greatly simplifying the wiring process

and reducing wiring costs.

Daisy-Chain Topology Reduces Deployment Costs

Saving Time and Wiring Costs with Peer-to-Peer Communications

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

networking details like I/O channels, or vendor-defined addresses

to enable the initial or start address 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

individual devices, users simply configure the function and address

map to fit their needs.
