Distributed I/O module ROCKWELL AUTOMATION

On-Machine control is the placement of automation components directly on a machine rather than housing them in a remote, central cabinet. This is possible with the emergence of more modular, compact devices, plug-and-play connectivity, flexible communication networks, intelligent devices, and a wide array of products with improved environmental ratings. On-Machine components can include everything from programmable controllers, motor starters, drives, sensors, contactors, network media, distribution boxes, and I/O, as well as HMI devices. On-Machine solutions provide reduced wiring and system costs, improved Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), enhanced control system reliability, increased productivity, and greater flexibility.
