4.7 PLC Input/Output (I/O) Interface
The Multi-2 Unit is able to operate under different Input/Output control structures through use of a
modular I/O interface board installed in the unit. Besides standard discrete “hardwired” interface
signals, the introduction of “Open” architecture communication networks known as “Fieldbus” made it
necessary for the direct interfacing to these networks. FEC integrated many Fieldbus interfaces
directly into our system through use of a modular I/O board interfacing these networks directly to our
I/O. (See Chapter 5 for available interfaces)
4.7.1 Control Interfaces
The available I/O interfaces are shown in the chart below. The fieldbus interface boards are integrated
directly to internal I/O signals which eliminate associated I/O wiring thus reducing overall assembly
labor. In fieldbus systems, the communication is typically of the Master/Slave format in which the FEC
unit is a slave to the master CPU. In addition to handling I/O signals, some Fieldbus types allow
resultant fastening data to be sent over the same connection to the host PLC (Described below as I/O
& Messaging)
