A New I/O for OCS
SmartStix™ I/O is a new terminal-block style
I/O designed for use with the the XL series
Operator Control Station (OCS). It can be
used to expand the I/O capacity of any OCS,
and it is very cost effective as remote I/O.
SmartStix I/O connects to any OCS CsCAN™
network port to provide the best I/O
selection for the application. And, output
modules feature Electronic Short-Circuit
Protection (ESCP).
Compact, DIN-Rail Mounted
SmartStix I/O is extremely compact,
providing 16 and 32 point digital I/O in a
package only 39 mm (1.5") deep and a
footprint of 50 H x 116 W mm (2 x 4.5") or
50 H x 177 W mm (2 x 7"). With its small
footprint, SmartStix I/O takes up very little
panel space whether located in the main
control panel or tucked away in a remote
location. SmartStix I/O has a barrier style
terminal strip and can be mounted on a
DIN-Rail. Plus, removable terminals make
field replacement fast and convenient.
Expands I/O Capacity, Local or Remote SmartStix I/O easily expands the I/O capacity
of any OCS utilizing the CsCAN network port
available with every model. It is especially
cost effective when added to an XL Series
OCS. SmartStix I/O offers fast response
times without sacrificing robustness, with
no need for a costly I/O interface unit. In
addition to its peer-to-peer capabilities,
CsCAN is used as a highly efficient method
of distributing SmartStix I/O up to 1829 m
(6000')* away.
Easy to Set Up
SmartStix require minimal time and
complexity to configure. Just assign a
unique ID, connect the 5-wire shielded cable
and you will be up and running in no time.
* Maximum distance is 457 m (1500') per segment, with up to 1829 m (6000') possible using repeaters.
