The BradControl family of I/O modules from Woodhead, a division of Molex, has added EtherNet/IP to its list of supported protocols. The modules are designed to provide a reliable solution for connecting industrial controllers communicating on industrial networks to I/O modules.
Already supporting Modbus TCP (UDP), the 60 mm wide family of I/O modules operates as a slave device in the Ethernet control system, gathering signals and data from local field devices. The I/O module comes in an 8-port, 16 channel format with the availability of multiple I/O configurations supporting PNP and NPN input devices.
Features include diagnostic LEDs, a built-in 2-port switch for network connections and a 4-digit display for addressing and status information. The I/O modules support connections using standard threaded M12 connectors or the push-to-lock Ultra-Locksystem.
