Ethernet I/O Systems

Measurement and control tasks close to test items

Effective protection against vibrations, dirt and extreme temperatures

The intelligent Ethernet systems of the MSX-E series are especially suited for industrial measurement, control and regulation tasks very close to the test item. In order to cope with daily stresses and strains such as current peaks, dirt or extended temperatures, the systems are mounted in robust metal housings and comply with the degree of protection IP 65/IP 40. They can be used in the temperature range of - 40 °C/ + 85 °C and are equipped with numerous protection circuitries. The systems can be freely cascaded and synchronised in the µs range.

Highlights

• Compact systems for use very close to the test item
• All system types can be cascaded and synchronised
• Degree of protection IP 65 or IP 40
• Optical isolation
