Industrial Remote I/O — Technical Knowledge
Remote I/O vs. Local I/O
Local I/O is usually installed close to the PLC, while Remote I/O places signal modules near field devices to reduce wiring and simplify system expansion.
Remote I/O vs. PLC
Remote I/O focuses on signal acquisition and output control. The PLC remains responsible for logic processing, sequence control and system coordination.
CANopen Remote I/O
CANopen-based Remote I/O uses CANopen communication objects to exchange I/O data between distributed modules and control systems.
Digital and Analog I/O
Digital I/O handles on/off signals, while analog I/O processes continuous signals such as voltage, current or sensor measurements.
Distributed I/O Architecture
A distributed I/O system places modules closer to machines or field devices, improving installation flexibility and reducing control cabinet wiring.
I/O System Selection
The suitable Remote I/O solution depends on signal type, number of channels, communication protocol, environment and automation requirements.
