In addition to simple ON/OFF signal input and output, the digital I/O slave can collect various kinds of information on the slave itself that will help improve the operation rate and maintainability of the facility.
Reduction of start-up time and improvement of maintainability are realized by the use of connectors in the communication section and the I/O detaching structure.
The ability to combine one expansion unit for one digital I/O slave increases flexibility in system construction.
Ability to collect various data on maintenance systems necessary for productivity improvement, such as information on aging of equipment and equipment operation.
