Field Bus System: EX600 Series
Designed for total application flexibility, the EX600 I/O system offers many advanced features. A full suite of diagnostics and programmable parameters allow the EX600 to meet the most stringent requirements. The SI Unit is the key building block of the system and various I/O blocks and valve manifolds can be connected to it. The EX600 can be configured as a centralized or a decentralized I/O system, or a combination of both.Ethernet/IP is a widely supported protocol that can be used with hundreds of devices. For example, with Ethernet/IP, we can build an automation system that uses a Universal Robots collaborative robot arm, an Allen-Bradley or LSIS programmable logic controller (PLC), and a Yaskawa motion controller, and easily have each component communicate with each other.
Yaskawa Remote I/O: Modules
Yaskawa offers a wide range or IO modules that can meet your application's remote IO needs. Use Yaskawa's MECHATROLINK-II / MECHATROLINK-III remote IOs or the SLIO EtherNet/IP modules for your application.
