X67 I/O modules are designed for rough industrial conditions and as standard have IP67 protection and excellent EMC properties.
Extensive status information, directly indicated via LEDs or software, is available on all X67 I/O system modules.
The X67 I/O system provides a cost reduction through easy handling (eg expensive wiring is reduced to two lines: bus and power lines), seamless integration, extensive diagnostic functions and optimal serviceability.
A wide Varity of I/O modules with a compact design and distances up to 90m between modules give the customer absolute freedom when constructing a system.
Modules with valve connections are also possible.
This allows comprehensive remote automation to become reality.
Open communication via CAN, CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus DP and Ethernet Powerlink is guaranteed.
Other features include integrated status LEDs, totally sealed housings for use in rough environments, central attachments for sliding lock nut installations, and integrated T-connectors for fieldbus connection.
