INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION CONTROL COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS |
| 摘要 |
A control communication method and apparatus couples electrical outputs of devices directly to a network I/O module without connecting the devices to an electrical control system. The network I/O module includes outputs for sending control data received over an Ethernet network directly to a production device without intervening electrical control. The network I/O module transmits data identifying the device generating an output signal along with the network I/O module ID, over the Ethernet network in TCP/IP protocol. |
