The right tools and accessories can make a substantial contribution to time savings right at testing and commissioning. The IO-Box was conceived precisely for this purpose. Even before a control is integrated in the system, the IO box makes possible simulation of inputs and outputs without putting any efforts in handicrafts.

Therefore the IO-Box features eight digital and two analog inputs and outputs. In order to cover a broad spectrum of application, the I/O box comes in three versions. We offer a version for industry standard signals, one for CANopen and one with USB connection.

Highlights of the SYS TEC IO-Box

• Cost-effective resources for simulation of inputs and outputs, test and commissioning
• Three possibilities for access to the inputs and outputs – directly, CANopen or USB
• Quick and uncomplicated commissioning without prior experience
• Galvanic separation of the I/Os enables operation of two devices on one basic I/O box
• Direct power supply of the I/O box via CAN-bus or USB (requires high-power USB host device)
• Direct use with testing and commissioning in OpenPCS

Basic IO-Box

The basic IO-Box makes possible direct wiring of the inputs and outputs via spring-type connectors.

• 8 x DO 24VDC, 500mA
• 8 x DI 24VDC
• 2 x AO 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• 2 x AI 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• power-supply: 24VDC

CANopen IO-Box

The CANopen IO-Box is a ready-to-use DS 401 compliant CANopen I/O device. The inputs and outputs of the IO-Box can be accessed via CANopen network variables. Accordingly, the CANopen IO-Box is ideal for performing CANopen communications tests.

• 8 x DO
• 8 x DI
• 2 x AO 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• 2 x AI 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• power-supply 24VDC external or via CAN-bus

USB IO-Box

The USB IO-Box can be connected directly to the PC and co-operates with the OpenPCS offline simulator. Here, the process structure is represented on the IO-Box and vice versa.

• 8 x DO
• 8 x DI
• 2 x AO 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• 2 x AI 0V – 10V (Display: 3-digits, resolution: 0,01V)
• power-supply via USB (requires high-power USB host device)
