SX8R Bus Coupler Module
Experience seamless connectivity and unmatched reliability with IDEC's Bus Coupler Module, designed to meet the diverse needs of modern industrial applications.
- Multi-Protocol Support: Supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link IE Field Basic for seamless integration.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -25 to 65°C for robust performance.
- Flexible I/O Modules: Compatible with over 40 existing IDEC FC6A MicroSmart PLC I/O modules, supporting a wide range of discrete and analog signals.
- Extensive I/O Options: Expand up to 15 modules (480 discrete points, 120 analog inputs, and 60 analog outputs), with the maximum capacity of SX8R nodes varying depending on the host unit and protocol.
- User-Friendly Configuration Tool: Easy setup and management with configurations saved in the software.
Remote I/O system using Industrial Ethernet
Remote I/O systems reduce maintenance time, wiring materials, and cable laying in distributed control, as well as decrease the total cost by downsizing the control panel.
The impact of signal weakening and background noise caused by long-distance transmission is minimized.
Compatible with major open networks
Supports EtherNet/IP (adapter), Modbus TCP (server), CC-Link IE Basic (slave station)
Simultaneous Communication with Two Master Stations
A controller and monitoring device can be connected at the same time, even on difference networks. You can build a control and monitoring system with a single remote I/O coupler.
*Simultaneous connection of EtherNet/IP and CC-Link IE Field Basic is not possible.
Build a system with flexible I/O modules
Paired with IDEC's MicroSmart FC6A I/O modules, it facilitates the seamless creation of a remote I/O system. A wide variety of MicroSmart FC6A I/O modules (48 models) can be used to build an efficient remote I/O system.
