Acromag BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules with Profinet

Acromag has announced the enhancement of its BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules with the addition of Profinet protocol. The modules are now compatible with three key field protocols: Profinet, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP. They have been certified by the PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation for Profinet standards, for interoperability across different vendors and systems.

The NTE Ethernet I/O models feature dual RJ45 ports, a web server for convenient monitoring or controlling I/O channels, and field-configurable communication protocols. Each module can manage up to 16 diverse input or output signals, such as voltage, current, temperature, TTL and relay control signals.

The modules facilitate up to 64 channels on a single IP address by connecting three NTX expansion I/O modules via an integrated DIN rail bus. They also distribute power along the DIN rail bus to the expansion modules. Their rugged build is designed for operation in harsh environments, withstanding extreme temperatures and high noise levels.

The NT2000 Series presents a wide array of I/O signal processing options, including analog I/O models, discrete I/O models and temperature monitoring modules. These modules are adaptable for various applications, such as factory automation, process instrumentation and HVAC/energy management.
