With the continuous development and popularization of industrial automation, more and more enterprises are digitizing and networking their production lines and business processes. However, in the industrial production and data processing process, I/O (input and output) is a crucial component, “I/O” module as a common equipment, in recent years, the demand is also rising.

According to relevant research data, it is expected that by 2024, the global industrial control and automation market will reach 32.8 billion US dollars, of which I/O modules occupy a large market share. At the 2023 South China International Industry Fair, Miao Jiapeng, sales director of Nanjing Deckwell Automation Co., LTD., also said: “The domestic I/O module market has nearly 5 billion, as of 2022, 90% of the market is occupied by foreign brands, and for domestic brands, we still have a lot of room for development.”

The new generation of information technology accelerates the evolution of industrial automation, domestic enterprises continue to improve their technology and innovation capabilities, and domestic alternative products have gradually formed in the field of I/O modules. Nanjing Deckwell Automation Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Deckwell”) in 2023 South China International Industry Fair, based on the original self-developed series of I/O modules, launched a focus on distributed bus I/O research and development of SD series IP67 remote I/O module, RS series integrated I/O module.

New generation of highly protected I/O – SD series IP67 remote I/O module

SD series IP67 remote I/O module is a new generation of high-protection I/O launched by Deckwell, with the protection level up to IP67, using the first standardized I/O technology for sensor + actuator + controller communication IO-Link, only one three-core unshielded cable can be completed, saving 50% of the wiring and maintenance time; There are also functions such as automatic status monitoring of configuration parameters, which can help customers save maintenance costs, shorten downtime, and improve production change efficiency.

At the same time, SD series products also adopt a compact fully sealed design, suitable for harsh working conditions, with strong anti-vibration and anti-impact capabilities, is widely used in silicon, lithium, medicine, automotive, logistics, metallurgy, and other industries, can direct to the field layer, help its efficient engineering.

Faster, more stable and more flexible – RS series integrated I/O module

RS series integrated I/O module supports a variety of industrial fieldbus protocols, such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link, CC-Link IE Field Basic, Modbus TCP, etc., and can also meet 32 channels digital input/digital output. Users can choose different I/O module components such as Trinity European terminals, E-CON connectors, and single row European terminals according to actual needs, and single slot and double slot two specifications of the base are available.

It is worth mentioning that the RS series integrated module compared with the first generation of I/O products, the design is upgraded in all aspects, flip open the built-in dip switch function, can change the subnet IP address of the module; The I/O signal end can replace the I/O module panel according to the terminal type to quickly solve the field matching problem; Straight plug terminal connection, more stable, more convenient; The whole device can also be placed arbitrarily for quick installation.

It is understood that distributed I/O modules are widely used in large-scale or complex control systems, such as factory automation, process control, etc., which can improve the scalability and reliability of the system, reduce system wiring and maintenance costs, and facilitate centralized monitoring and remote management. With the complexity and intelligence of the industrial environment, distributed I/O modules have become an important part of industrial automation systems, providing enterprises with more flexible, reliable, intelligent and efficient control solutions.
