> Remote I/O withIndustrial Ethernet com-munication:Modbus TCP;ready for ProfiNet and FF HSE

Ready? Then let’s go: Industrial Ethernet technology makes its appearance in the sector of process automation.This renders Integration of Remote I/O in plant structures even simpler. The fieldbus solutions available today (Profibus DP, Controlnet etc.) will, in some cases, be replaced in future. Field-orientated stations for connection of an extremely wide variety of sensors and actuators will communicate via Fast Industrial Ethernet with the higher-level automation systems. Initial application protocols are already available for this today. R.STAHL is making the crucial step into the future with the Remote I/O System IS1 Ethernet and the effective, Ethernet-compliant Modbus TCP protocol. The IS1 CPU & Power Module has been modified and adapted to Industrial Ethernet. Nothing has changed on the I/O modules. They are still used together with the proven in use BusRail on the new system. The IS1 System is designed for use in Zone 1 and Division 1. The Ethernet interface is optically intrinsically safe (»ex op is« in accordance with IEC 60079-28) with fibre- optic cables so as to span even larger distances in the hazardous location with no interference. In the near future, even better integration will be available with ProfiNet and FF-HSE. R.STAHL actively participates in the Working Groups of Profibus International and Fieldbus Foundation, aiming at integration of Remote I/O technology in the communications engineering of the future. Regardless of the technology for which our customers ultimately choose, R.STAHL provides efficient and economical solutions. R.STAHL’s IS1 Ethernet, ready for ProfiNet, ready for FF-HSE, ready for the future.

> Installation in Zone1 or Division 1 > 100 Mbit/s Fast Industrial Ethernet via optically intrinsically safe fibre-optic cables > Redundant Ethernet interworking; very short switchover time down to 200 ms > Hot-Swap of all modules: CPU, Power, I/O modules > All standard IS1 I/O modules used > High-performance Ethernet ComDTM for configuration and diagnosis
