Smart Control & I/O System, SLIO
VIPA Automation India Pvt Ltd has launched SLIO - a modular and extremely compact control and I/O system. A unique PLC system, it is universally combinable and deployable with every established VIPA system and nearly all those of other producers. A further milestone in the automation industry, the SLIO (slice input and output) combines high functionality and a clever mechanical concept in an extremely compact design. SLIO is very compact and is exactly adapted to the demands of the application slice by slice. Many interface modules are available for the usage as an IO system. Beside PROFINET and PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherNet/IP and MODBUS TCP are available. All interfaces modules for PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherNet/IP and MODBUS TCP support up to 64 electronic modules. A module unit consists of terminal and electronic modules that are connected with a safe slide and lock mechanism. The terminal module combines clamps, intake for the electronic module, and the SLIO backplane bus connector. In the case of service only the electronic module is exchanged by simply pulling it out from the terminal module - the wiring and mounting on the 35 mm standard profile rail remain unchanged. The deployed power modules are in contrasting colours to the signal and function modules. The electronic modules are supplied with voltage and separated - if required - in potential groups by the power modules. The cage clamps on the terminal module enable a fast, clear and safe wiring. With the integrated status LEDs and the user-friendly front labelling strips of the electronic modules the identification and status monitoring of the I/O channels is clear and precise. The new SLIO backplane bus concept with a speed of up to 48 Mbit/s ensures very short reaction times. With the new SLIO CPU the I/O system has become one of the most advanced centralized control systems in the automation market. With the introduction of the VIPASetCards (VSC) the customer can configure a suitable CPU within seconds. Besides expandable work memory you can also select between different fieldbus connections.
