Featured Product – More decentralized I/O
Festo Simplifies Decentralized I/O Design with a Configurable Digital I/O Module
As automated machines become more capable, increasing amounts of decentralized I/O are needed. Conventional approaches often rely on multiple dedicated input and output modules, increasing hardware, commissioning, and additional components that machine builders and system integrators must engineer, stock, and support.
Festo addresses this challenge with a new configurable digital I/O module for the CPX-AP-I decentralized I/O platform.
Instead of forcing machine builders to work around fixed I/O configurations, this new module adapts to the application, enabling more efficient use of decentralized I/O across a machine. Find out how
