Flex I/O and Flex I/O XT Modules

In-Cabinet Modular I/O Platform

Advantages
Reduced Space: Wire directly from sensor to terminal base and eliminate the terminal strip Functionality: From two point to 32-point modules offer functions of larger rack-based I/O Increased Productivity: Easy configuration and setup of I/O modules using wizards speeds engineering and installation Reduced Downtime: Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) and module level diagnostics Exceptional Choices: More than 90 varieties and specialty modules meet the needs of a wide variety of applications Network Flexibility: Communicates on EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Remote I/O and other open networks Improved Plant Operations: HART analog modules pass through HART data to asset management software or controller for improved plant operations

FLEX I/O offers all the functions of larger rack-based I/O without the space requirements. Its cost effectiveness, flexibility, modularity, and reliability have made it the most popular distributed I/O platform with more then four million modules sold. FLEX I/O helps eliminate multiple long wiring runs, reduces terminations, decreases engineering and installation costs and time, and substantially reduces down time. It complements all Rockwell Automation controller platforms for a distributed I/O solution. The FLEX I/O system can communicate on EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, and many other open networks including, but not limited to, Remote I/O, PROFIBUS DP, and Interbus-S. You can independently select the I/O, termination style, and network to meet your application needs.

The FLEX I/O system contains a network adapter, terminal bases, and I/O modules. You can power the system with a FLEX power supply or any other compatible power source. You can use as many as eight terminal bases per adapter, allowing a wide variety of I/O channels per adapter, or mix and match digital, analog and specialty I/O modules to meet your specific needs. For instance, 256 digital inputs/outputs with 32-point modules 96 analog inputs FLEX I/O can be mounted horizontally or vertically on standard 35mm DIN rail or panel mounted without derating. These modules also come in an XT version, which are conformally coated, and operate in extreme environments. These modules operate in a temperature range from -20C/-25C to 70C. FLEX Ex, an intrinsically safe line extension is also in the FLEX I/O family. FLEX Ex is designed to be distributed throughout hazardous areas without the use of bulky explosion proof or purged enclosures.
