BradControl(TM) IP20 Block I/O System Now Connects to Ethernet Modbus TCP.Ideal Solution for Applications Where In-Cabinet Mounting, High-Density I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Count and Modular Design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. Are Required HANNOVER, Germany & LISLE, Ill. -- Woodhead Industries, a division of Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :MOLX) (NASDAQ:MOLXA), announces the addition of Ethernet Modbus[TM] TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. (UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. ) connectivity to its IP20 BradControl[TM] Block I/O system. Designed for industrial in-cabinet use, the IP20 BradControl Block I/O system provides an effective way to connect industrial I/O devices to a PLC or PC controller over industrial networks, which now include Modbus TCP (UDP). The BradControl Ethernet Modbus TCP (UDP) network adapter A printed circuit board that plugs into the bus of both user machines (clients) and servers in a local area network (LAN). Also commonly called a "network interface card" (NIC) or "LAN card," the network adapter transmits data onto the network and receives data from the network. operates as a slave device in the Ethernet control system, gathering signals and data from local field devices through the expansion modules. The BradControl Ethernet Modbus TCP (UDP) network adapter module manages all communications with the expansion modules, and supplies DC power to the attached local processors. Standard DIN rail A DIN rail or top-hat rail is a standardized 35 mm wide metal rail with hat-shaped cross section. It is widely used, especially in Europe, for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks. mounting adds flexibility to the design and makes it convenient to install. The customizable legends and highly visible LED indicators provide for easy setup and operational validation during the installation and maintenance phases of an automation project. The BradControl Block I/O system is comprised of a network adapter and up to 32 expansion modules mounted in an enclosure close to the field devices. The ribbon cable-based expansion bus, which handles inter-module communication, operates at 11 MBaud, is permitted to be 6.5 meters in length, and can accommodate a maximum of ten groups of modules. The expandable system is capable of accommodating a maximum of 512 channels of I/O in the form of discrete inputs, discrete solid state outputs, discrete relay outputs, analog inputs, and analog outputs. In addition, interface capability is available for high-speed counter inputs as well as for incremental encoders. Woodhead Industries offers a complete line of Brad([R]) Ethernet solutions, which include PC interfaces, switches, gateways, diagnostic tools, I/O simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. , cordsets, connectors, receptacles, and IP67 on-machine & IP20 in-cabinet I/O modules.
