All-in-One Design, Space Saving:Integrates power supply, CPU, digital/analog I/O, and communication interfaces into a single unit. Its compact design is ideal for small machines and distributed control applications, significantly saving space in control cabinets.
Rich I/O Configuration:Offers 24 Digital Inputs (DI), 16 Transistor Outputs (DQ), 4 Analog Inputs (AI), and 2 Analog Outputs (AQ). This configuration meets the needs of most small to medium automation requirements without additional expansion modules.
Built-in Ethernet Communication:Features one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (RJ45) supporting Modbus TCP/IP and Ethernet/IP (optional configuration), facilitating communication with HMIs, SCADA systems, or other networked devices.
Multiple Communication Interfaces:Besides Ethernet, it also includes an RS-485 serial port and a USB programming port (Mini-B) supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols, making local programming and debugging easy.
High-Speed Pulse Output Capability:Supports up to four high-speed pulse outputs (up to 100 kHz), suitable for driving stepper motors or servo systems, enabling simple motion control.
High-Performance Processor:Based on a high-performance ARM processor, it features fast scan times and supports complex logic, data processing, and multitasking.
