Key Features
- WeldBlock Protection: Features specialized construction that prevents interference from high-frequency magnetic fields and eliminates physical damage caused by hot weld slag.
- Self-Configuring I/O: Optimizes field deployment by allowing each of the 16 channels to function independently as either an input or an output based on the connected device.
- EtherNet/IP Daisy-Chain: Equipped with dual M12 network ports to support linear or Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies, reducing the need for localized Ethernet switches.
- On-Machine Integration: Mounts directly to the machine frame near sensors and actuators, drastically decreasing field cable runs and central enclosure spacing.
- High-Durability Housing: Completely sealed IP67/IP69K washdown-rated design safeguards the internal electronic components against water, dust, oils, and chemical exposure.
