MacroNode-1

Control Systems MacroNode™ I/O COMPACT NETWORKED I/O WITH cLogic™ CONTROL ENGINE The MacroNode™ I/O product line provides high density, compact and economical I/O solutions for common Industrial Networks. In addition, these modules contain cLogic™, an on-board C-compiler to handle the distribution of real-time logic tasks. No longer are you limited by network bandwidth, as you designate time critical tasks to your I/O modules, where they belong. To best meet applications requirements, a variety of models are available with a mix of digital I/O, analog inputs, and analog outputs. MacroNode comes in sizes of 1- 4 slots, configured by you to meet your needs. Each I/O card provides high density, easy access to I/O through dual 37-pin D-Sub connectors. Currently Supported Networks • Ethernet: Modbus/TCP™ and Ethernet/IP™ (RJ45 and Fiber-optic interface) • EtherCAT • DeviceNet I/O Configurations • Up to 4 slots of I/O • Each I/O card is Digital, Analog or Combo (Digital & Analog) Features & Benefits • High density analog, digital, or combination of I/O points in a compact and economical package • cLogic™ distributed real-time logic engine • Up to 96 I/O point over 4 slots Easy to install and configure, with monitoring LED’s of status and each digital I/O point Analog input points are single-ended, 12-bit resolution, configurable for 0-10V, ±10V or ±5V input ranges • DIN rail mounting, with I/O connectors top and bottom
