Astraada One Compact DIO - Remote EtherCAT digital I/O extension module with integrated bus coupler

Product description

The ECC DIO 16/16 module allows functionality to be extended with an additional 16 digital transistor inputs and 16 digital transistor outputs. The module communicates with ECC2xxx controllers via the EtherCAT interface. To establish a connection, all that is required is to connect the power supply, patchcord (to the EtherCAT port on the controller and the IN input of the module) and add the module in the Codesys project tree. The module is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail (35 mm).

Technical specifications:

• 16 digital inputs
• 16 digital outputs
• 2 RJ-45 EtherCAT ports (1 input, 1 output)

All-in-one CODESYS controller

The integration of functions from numerous individual components in a single device provides you with two key benefits:

• 1) You save costs because you only need one device instead of several modules – and, of course, this also makes project planning and programming significantly easier.
• 2) In addition, compared to modular product solutions, the general workload, for example, in terms of logistics, assembly and testing, is significantly lower. At the same time, having one compact PLC as the central heart and brain of the entire system ensures improved functional reliability due to the faster data communication.

Hardware features

All modules are delivered in a fanless design with a robust aluminum housing and can be installed without extra tools. Regardless of whether you require a residential area permit or certification for international use – an all-in-one controller is the right choice for any automation task.

Software features

Available with up to 1 GB RAM, 2 GB Flash and 100 kB Retain the B-Fortis not only offers a variety of interfaces, but also plenty of power. The hardware works in perfect harmony with the automation software CODESYS and can therefore be programmed effortlessly according to IEC61131. Thanks to the USB-based plug & play update concept, keeping your application up-to-date has never been easier. In addition, the tamper-proof hardware identification provides you with native application protection.
