SmartStack
™
Modular I/O
Expandable, Stackable I/O System for OCS
Unlike conventional PLC I/O, SmartStack
™
I/O is not a rack-based design. SmartStack
I/O modules are snapped onto the Operator Control Station (OCS) or an off-mounted
base, and then stacked onto each other. They utilize a very small amount of panel
space for the number of I/O provided. SmartStack modules are encased in metal or
plastic housings and meet stringent noise, vibration, and shock standards. A maximum
of 4 modules can be stacked directly onto many OCS, and another 20 modules can be
added by using the fiber optic FOX I/O System. Several OCS models can have 20 or
more SmartStack modules using the FOX I/O System.
There are over 50 SmartStack I/O modules available.They include a variety of mixed
I/O modules offering a combination of inputs and outputs, digital and analog, and
specialty modules: High Speed Counter (1 MHz), Stepper Indexer, ASCII BASIC, and
AC Power Monitoring modules.You can select from a full complement of temperature
input modules (Thermocouple, RTD,Thermistor), and SmartStack communication
options include Ethernet TCP/IP, DeviceNet
™
Master and Slave, PROFIBUS
™
Master and Slave and CANopen Master.
Custom I/O configurations and modules are available at an added cost.
Many Ways to Expand
You have several ways to expand the number of SmartStack modules. Connecting a miniRCS via the CsCAN
™
port adds
one more SmartStack module; networking an RCS (Remote Control Station) controller allows you to add up to 4 more
SmartStack modules. If you use a FOX100 I/O Fiber Optic Expansion Module and the FOX I/O System, you can have up to
23 SmartStack modules (3 modules and the FOX100 mounted on the OCS plus 20 modules with the FOX I/O System).
When using NX and Color-Touchscreen OCS models, you may connect 5 bases and have up to 20 SmartStack modules.
Here is a summary of expansion options:
