Outline • PLC I/O Market Trends • Birth of Distributed I/O • NXIO 2nd Generation Distributed I/O • Product Features • Target Market • How to use NXIO to reduce costs • Internal Quality
PLC I/O Trends • Large End Users and Complex OEMs are looking for ways to further reduce their costs • Hardware PLC and I/O costs keep decreasing so now Space, Labor and Maintenance of I/O Wiring is becoming a major cost • Networked I/O Trend PLC HW COSTS - DOWN SPACE, WIRING COSTS - UP Large Factories - Refineries - Automotive Complex Machine OEMs
PLC I/O Trends • Customers purchasing I/O as a Component • Customers can buy any PLC Controller and use any I/O platform due to emergence of Global Network Standards (e.g. Profibus, DeviceNet) • e.g. Controller is Brand ZZZ and I/O is OE Max NXIO OE MAX Controls OE Max Controls Bridge Brand AAA Servo NX PLC NXIO Brand ZZZ
Improvement over PLC I/O • Birth of “Distributed I/O” Concept to reduce Wiring costs • Combination of Network + Modular I/O + Terminal Block (TB) • Network provides Diagnostic Data back to Controller for easy Maintenance Distributed I/O PLC Controller Network Master Network Slave I/O I/O I/O I/O TB TB TB TB Network Slave I/O I/O I/O I/O TB TB TB TB
Improvement over PLC I/O • Popular for over 10yrs in North America and Europe where space and labor are very expensive • Trend will continue into China • Growing Number of Large Factories (e.g. Automotive, Food and Beverage) with Networking Requirements • Labor and Space Costs will increase over time • Productivity (not just low cost labor) will become a Competitive Advantage • Many Terminal Block or Sensor Suppliers start to sell Distributed I/O platforms • WAGO, Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff, Turck, Opto22 but they lack a PLC background
NXIO 2nd Generation Distributed I/O Design
PLC I/O 市场趋势 • The trend for the Semiconductor OEMs is to adopt Distributed I/O • DeviceNet is adopted as a Semiconductor Standard and has become very popular in Asia and North America • Saves on space and wiring • OE Max Controls launches NXIO in 2004 • 2nd Generation Distributed I/O Design • Slice-type with high granularity of I/O
Product Features • Save space • Small Footprint • 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 point I/O Modules • Expansion up to 32 slots • Various I/O Types • Discrete I/O: 24Vdc, Relay, Triac, SSR • Analog I/O: Current and Voltage • Thermo-couple, RTD input • High Speed Counter
Product Features • Easy to use • Protected Output • Removable Terminal Block • Easy wiring • Network Connectivity • DeviceNet • Profibus-DP • Others: CanOpen, EtherNet/IP • Certifications • CE, UL, cTick

Product Features • Removable terminal block • One-Touch Cabling without Screw Driver • Separated field power • Easy wiring for COM connection • I/O Status LED • Module identifier by color coding • Test pin for Easy and Safe operation • Sliding I/O expansion without Screw Driver • DIN-rail installation • Frame Ground to enhance noise immunity Easy Wiring Faster maintenance Enhanced Structure
Target Market NXIOis not only for highly distributed applications. Wherever you need networked I/O, you can use NXIO
Target Markets • DeviceNet Market • Save space (network power for sensors) • Motor Control Centers (overload diagnostics) • Semiconductor, Electronics Industry • Profibus DP Market • Cost Reduction from using Siemens ET200 I/O • High Performance • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) • DCS (Process Control – Distributed Control System) • Outdoor Applications (-20C to 55C Rating) • Future: Modbus TCP (Ethernet), Modbus Plus
PC Target Markets Large Variety of Control Solutions • PLC • PC Based • Soft PLC • Web Based • VME Controller • Compact PCI • HMI
Advantages of using NXIO How to use NXIO to reduce costs - At the same time improve the overall value of your system.
Lowering Your Total PLC HW Cost • Easy way to lower Total HW Cost is to use NXIO with your current Control Solution • Keeping same PLC minimizes redesign of system • Cost Reduction Example • Continue to use Siemens S7-315DP Controller with Profibus • Replace Siemens ET-200 I/O (typically M or S series) with NXIO Profibus Network S7-200M (S7-300) + Terminal Block • NXIO • Smaller • Easier to wire • Lower Cost S7-315DP Controller
Reduce your Labor Costs • Internal Field Power Bus eliminates extra Wires for Commons • Reduces wiring by over 25% • Reduces wiring mistakes • Special Modules available for wiring Analog Shields • No extra terminal blocks needed for wiring • NXIO is a Terminal Block • “Spring Clamp” Terminal Block design eliminates need for Screwdriver • Guarantees good connection even under vibration
Eliminate Wasted/Unused I/O Points • With Traditional PLC I/O platforms, I/O Points and Space can be wasted • e.g. Need 480pts of Digital I/O but only 2 Analog I/O and 1 High Speed Counter • NXIO is highly configurable • 16pt Digital I/O • 1 Channel HSC • 2 Channel Analog This lowers HW costs and saves Cabinet Space NXIO 16pt Module Smaller Size Typical PLC 16pt I/O Module
The Quality Inside Let’s look inside NXIO
Superior Vibration Resistance “Press fit” structure provides superior vibration resistance OE Max WAGO/BeckHoff (Press fit type) (Contact Type)
Optimized Communication Protocol • Reduced hardware cost by serial communication. • Efficient protocol for rapid response time – Change of State Inputs Service Message Frame Message Header Message Length Function Code Service Data Field CRC 8 I/O Message Frame Message Header Message Length I/O Data Field CRC 8 Input Token Adapter Input Data sent using Change of State when Token is received ‘1 ‘6 ‘2 ‘3 ‘4 ‘5 1 2 3 4 5 Slot#2 Slot#3 Slot#4 Slot#5 Slot#6 Slot#1 Output Data by Broadcasting
