Acromag BusWorks NT series Ethernet remote I/O modules

Metromatics has announced the local availability of Acromag’s BusWorks NT series Ethernet remote I/O modules that are designed to enhance IIoT capabilities with an integrated OPC UA server and MQTT client support to simplify data sharing and cloud connectivity across networks.

The BusWorks NT series Ethernet I/O modules are engineered for industrial environments requiring real-time monitoring and control, with applications spanning predictive maintenance, energy management, remote data acquisition and status monitoring. These modules ensure secure and standardised data exchanges, addressing the challenges of complex industrial communication systems.

Key features of the BusWorks NT Series include integrated IIoT protocols (OPC UA and MQTT) for secure, real-time data sharing between remote devices, cloud platforms and edge gateways, and dual protocol functionality, which combines IoT and industrial Ethernet protocols (Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP and Profinet) over a single network cable.

Each NTE Ethernet I/O model supports up to 16 I/O signals and can expand to 48 additional channels with NTX expansion modules, and supports various analog, discrete and temperature I/O configurations for voltage, current, relay and sensor inputs. They also feature a built-in web server for monitoring, control and easy configuration using a standard web browser.

The NT series modules also incorporate Acromag’s i2o peer-to-peer communication technology, enabling data transfers directly between modules without requiring a central host or master. For added flexibility, conditional logic with IF/THEN/ELSE statements allows users to customise operations efficiently.
