■ Two female M12 D-Code Ethernet connectors for daisy chaining and communication to a higher-level control system ■ Eight female M12 connections for IO-Link devices ■ One male M12 for incoming power and one female M12 for daisy chaining power The DXMR110 supports cloud connectivity and includes advanced programming features. ScriptBasic and action rules programming can be used to
create and implement custom scripts and logic for optimized automation processes. The internal processing power of the DXMR110 can be used to move data processing to the edge, minimizing the need for hardware in the control cabinet and eliminating I/O cards on a PLC. Integrated cloud connectivity can make data accessible from anywhere in the world. Finally, the IP67 housing simplifies installation in any location by eliminating the need for a control cabinet (Figure 4).
There’s more The devices presented so far are not the only options for implementing multi-protocol industrial communication solutions. Machine designers can employ a range of Banner Engineering's remote I/O blocks to optimize system design, space efficiency, and performance. Banner offers in-line converters and masters with over-molded designs that meet the ingress
