SLIO CPU

SLIO - The Smart Control and I/O System

By means of the modular and extremely compact SLIO, the realization of almost every automated solution will from now on be simpler, and especially, more economical.

It is one of the most effective and modern decentralized I/O systems available on the market. It combines high functionality with a clever mechanic concept in an extremely compact design.

Performance and Application

With the help of the power module (PM), color contrasted from the signal modules (SM) and functional modules (FM), these are supplied with power and separate potential groups can be defined, as required.

The terminal module (TM) combines clamp, seating for the electronic module (EM) and mechanical bus connector. The electronic modules are connected to the terminal module in a secure sliding mechanism. In the case of service, only the electronic module is replaced by simply pulling out of the terminal module – wiring and mounting remain on the 35 mm profile rail. The step-formed spring-type terminals on the terminal module enable a quick, clear and secure wiring. Through integrated status LEDs and the label strip on the front a channel-specific, unambiguous allocation, and readability of the channel conditions of the electronic module is ensured.

All interface modules (IM) for PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, PROFINET, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP and Modbus/ TCP support up to 64 electronic modules. The space-saving assembly size allows use in any automation environment.

Assembly is very easy: First the terminal modules are connected, then the electronic modules are inserted into the slot designated for the terminal module until the connection between both module parts is established by an audible click.

SLIO is one of the most highly efficient decentral systems worldwide and is evolving daily.
