PROFINET certified remote I/O modules from Advantech

Advantech has announced new range of five PROFINET certified Industrial Ethernet Remote I/O modules as part of its ADAM-6100 series.

Designed with 2,500 VDC isolated protection, these modules are very resistant to field interference. They are also equipped with the PROFINET protocol, and allow daisy chain connections, making it possible to transfer data much faster during process control and other industrial automation applications. Daisy chain connectivity provides a more scalable system with fewer wires to help avoid interference common in factory settings.

The ADAM-6100 series can also be mounted in different ways depending on different field situations, such as DIN-rail mounting, wall mounting, and piggybacked. More importantly, Advantech Adam/Apax .NET Utility comes bundled with each ADAM-6100 module, allowing users to configure, set, and test ADAM-6100 modules through Ethernet.

These five modules in the new ADAM-6100 series are available now.
