Maximizing Flexibility
in Distributed I/O and
Valve Systems
M
6
anufacturers of automation
components have long made
pneumatic valve terminals with
IP65 and IP67 ratings
that can be
mounted anywhere on a machine. This
is particularly useful
for
connecting
valves as close to pneumatic actuators as
possible. Doing so shortens the length of
tubing, reduces the occurrence and severity
of leaks, and increases actuator
performance by shortening cycle times.
Decentralized valve terminals communicate
with the machine controller or PLC
via an industrial Ethernet network. In
addition to valves, terminals are configured
with input and output modules to
allow for easy connection of sensors,
switches, and other field-level devices to
the industrial network.
Remote I/O Modules and
Pneumatic Valve Terminals
A typical machine or automation cell
contains a multitude of automation
components that must be connected to
the inputs and outputs of the central
PLC or machine controller. These components
include an increasingly wide
array of digital, analog, and pneumatic
sensors and actuators.
Many machine builders employ remote
I/O modules to reduce wiring for
the digital and analog devices, as well as
increase reliability, provide greater flexibility
in system design, and make machines
more resistant to harsh environMotion
