Large End Users and Complex OEMs are looking for ways to further reduce their costs

Hardware PLC and I/O costs keep decreasing so now Space, Labor and Maintenance of I/O Wiring is becoming a major cost

Networked I/O Trend

PLC I/O TrendsPLC I/O Trends

PLC HW COSTS - DOWN

SPACE, WIRING COSTS - UP

Large Factories - Refineries - Automotive

Complex MachineOEMs

Customers purchasing I/O as a ComponentCustomers can buy any PLC Controller and use any I/O platform due to emergence of Global Network Standards (e.g. Profibus, DeviceNet)

e.g. Controller is Brand ZZZ and I/O is OE Max NXIO

Improvement over PLC I/OImprovement over PLC I/O

Popular for over 10yrs in North America and Europe where space and labor are very expensive

Trend will continue into ChinaGrowing Number of Large Factories (e.g. Automotive, Food and Beverage) with Networking Requirements

Labor and Space Costs will increase over time

Productivity (not just low cost labor) will become a Competitive Advantage

Many Terminal Block or Sensor Suppliers start to sell Distributed I/O platforms

WAGO, Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff, Turck, Opto22

but they lack a PLC background

Advantages of using NXIOHow to use NXIO to reduce costs - At the same time improve the overall value of your

system.

21

Lowering Your Total PLC HW CostLowering Your Total PLC HW Cost

Easy way to lower Total HW Cost is to use NXIO with your current Control Solution

Keeping same PLC minimizes redesign of system

Cost Reduction ExampleContinue to use Siemens S7-315DP Controller with Profibus

Replace Siemens ET-200 I/O (typically M or S series) with NXIO

S7-315DP Controller

S7-200M (S7-300) + Terminal Block

ProfibusNetwork

NXIO- Smaller- Easier to wire- Lower Cost

22

Reduce your Labor CostsReduce your Labor Costs

Internal Field Power Bus eliminates extra Wires for Commons

Reduces wiring by over 25%Reduces wiring mistakes

Special Modules available for wiring Analog ShieldsNo extra terminal blocks needed for wiring

NXIO is a Terminal Block

“Spring Clamp” Terminal Block design eliminates need for Screwdriver

Guarantees good connection even under vibration

23

Eliminate Wasted/Unused I/O PointsEliminate Wasted/Unused I/O Points

With Traditional PLC I/O platforms, I/O Points and Space can be wasted

e.g. Need 480pts of Digital I/O but only 2 Analog I/O and 1 High Speed Counter

NXIO is highly configurable

16pt Digital I/O

1 Channel HSC

2 Channel Analog

This lowers HW costs and saves Cabinet Space
