FAQ

• What are I/O Modules?
• I/O (Input/Output) modules are devices used in automation and control systems to interface between the external world and the control system. They allow the system to gather information from sensors and deliver commands to actuators.

• What are the main types of I/O Modules?
• Digital Input Modules: Collect signals from digital sensors or switches. Digital Output Modules: Send digital signals to activate relays, solenoids, etc. Analog Input Modules: Collect continuous analog signals from sensors like temperature or pressure sensors. Analog Output Modules: Generate analog signals to control devices like variable speed drives. Mixed I/O Modules: Combine digital and analog inputs/outputs in a single module. Remote I/O Modules: Located at a distance from the main controller for remote monitoring and control.

• Can I mix different types of I/O Modules within a system?
• Yes, modern control systems allow mixing different types of I/O modules within the same system to accommodate diverse input and output requirements.

• How do I choose the right I/O Modules for my application?
• Consider factors like the types of sensors and actuators you're using, the required number of inputs and outputs, signal types (digital or analog), and any remote communication requirements. Consult system documentation and manufacturer resources for guidance.
