Direct input-to-output communication over IP
The ioMirror E3000 Ethernet I/O server is designed as a cable-replacement solution that connects remote digital input signals to output signals over an IP network. The ioMirror E3210 provides 8 digital input and 8 digital output channels and a 10/100M Ethernet interface. Up to 8 pairs of digital input and output signals can be exchanged over Ethernet with another ioMirror E3210 as well as to a local PLC or DCS controller. Over a local area network, the ioMirror achieves low signal latency, typically 20 ms. With ioMirror servers, remote sensors can now be connected to local controllers or display panels over copper, fiber, or wireless Ethernet infrastructures. Signals can be transmitted over virtually unlimited distances, without noise problems.
