In the field of industrial automation, traditional solutions rely on PLC controllers to centrally process signals from various sensors and actuators. With the IOy series, users can achieve edge-side control and feed results back to the main PLC controller, enhancing efficiency and system stability.
Challenges of Traditional PLC Systems
-
Excessive PLC Devices: Each control segment requires additional PLC + I/O modules.
-
Centralized Control: All I/O signals depend on PLC processing, lacking edge-side autonomy.
-
Complex Networking: A single system often requires multiple PLC + I/O combinations.
IOy Module PLC Expansion Solution
