New EtherNet/IP Remote I/O Solution

March 1, 2011
Advantech's APAX-5072 features ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association) authorization, allowing it to link with any Ethernet IP master to easily build a reliable Ethernet IP remote I/O solution.
The APAX-5072 features two RJ-45 ports with the same IP address for building daisy chains, which allows users to connect remote I/O devices directly without an additional Ethernet switch. It also provides dynamic configuration that allows users to configure different channels with different types and ranges in one module. Moreover, leveraging the APAX features of high density I/O, flexibility, scalability, and hot swap functionality, the APAX-5072 is able to connect APAX digital I/O modules or analog I/O modules to build remote I/O systems for fulfilling PLC or control application needs.More information, specs, and photos
