MS I/O Overview

MS I/O System (Motion-PLC I/O expansion) offers a compact, robust, high performance I/O expansion system. The ‘slice interface’ enables direct connection to Motion-PLC range controllers or to an EtherCAT coupler creating a flexible I/O solution.

MS I/O system can be tailored to the I/O requirements of the machine with any combination of digital inputs, digital outputs, analogue inputs or analogue outputs. With front face insertion and removal, slices can be easily fitted or swapped.

Spring clamp connectors allow easy wire insertion and push button wire removal making wiring quick and easy. Both the slice interface and EtherCAT are synchronized to the Motion-iX core, allowing deterministic behaviour of all devices for use with motion and machine applications.

All in one Solution

Add the MS EC Coupler... Add I/O... Expand your system!

MS EC

P659

Providing the most flexibility to add MS I/O on a machine the P659 MS EC EtherCAT Coupler allows:
Scalability via EtherCAT, motion optimised slices, distributed I/O stations, to be combined with ANY Trio EtherCAT controller for a highly compact and modular system and use with 3rd Party EtherCAT controllers.

The MS EC EtherCAT Coupler supports update rates from 125us to 4ms, providing performance for both motion control and general automation applications. With EtherCAT IN and OUT ports the MS EC Coupler can be placed at any point in the EtherCAT network.

Up to 16 MS I/O slices can be connected to a single MS EC Coupler in any combination and multiple couplers can be connected to a ANY EtherCAT controller for complete machine control.
