Communication Modules for Programmable Logic Controllers
Connect and communicate with multiple automation devices simultaneously, such as HMIs, motor speed controls, supervisory PCs, and additional PLC racks. These modules allow several systems to talk to one another—within your facility and beyond—letting you expand your automated processes over numerous interconnected networks. Choose a module that supports the communication protocol of the systems and equipment you’re connecting to.
Rated IP20, these modules prevent fingers and other objects greater than 12.5 mm from making contact with live circuits. They’re also UL and C-UL listed, CE marked, and CSA certified to meet various domestic and international safety standards.
DIN rail-mount modules attach conveniently to other modules on your PLC rack.
Processer socket-mount modules plug in directly to the front of your corresponding processor, so they won’t take up any additional space on your DIN rail.
Modules with remote input/output compatibility can transmit data between sensors and actuators without long runs of cable for each device. Mount them in your control room, and communicate with automated equipment hooked up far away.
