Rexroth Inline I/O

Rexroth’s Inline I/O system is now available with a SERCOS interface to provide single-bus architecture for your entire control system. This single-bus structure provides a cost-effective, open motion/logic solution for automated machines, without compromising machine speed or flexibility. Rexroth Inline is a highly-scalable, modular I/O system. The system offers a complete range of digital and analog I/O modules, including block I/O, as well as supply units for connected sensors/actuators. Expansion modules are available to provide additional functionality including counter modules and RTD modules (sensor types Pt, Ni, Cu, and KTY).

Besides SERCOS, other interfaces are available, including PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet and INTERBUS, for open interoperability with existing systems.

You can use the compact Rexroth Fieldline I/O units to bring I/O peripherals close to the sensors and actuators on your machine to reduce wiring costs and installation time. These modules feature diagnostic and status LEDs and provide a direct field connection which eliminates the need for additional T-connectors. Rexroth Fieldline I/O is available with various fieldbus interfaces including PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet and INTERBUS.
