Ethernet I/O Modules are central components in modern industrial automation and remote monitoring. They allow digital and analog signals to be collected, processed, and transmitted over Ethernet using open protocols (e.g., Modbus TCP, OPC UA). These modules provide the flexibility to decentralize input/output intelligence, reduce wiring complexity, and integrate seamlessly with SCADA, DCS, and IIoT systems. Typical applications include factory automation, energy management, environmental monitoring, and access control. Depending on the series, Ethernet I/O modules vary in I/O type, speed, environmental resilience, and intelligence – making each series ideal for specific automation scenarios.
