The PointMax™ I/O architecture provides a wide range of input and output modules to span many applications, such as machine, hybrid, and process control. The architecture uses Producer/Consumer technology that allows input information and output status to be shared among multiple Logix 5000® controllers. PointMax I/O systems are used as remote I/O modules with Logix 5000 controllers. You configure the modules with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application.
Space optimization features for maximum design freedom include:
- Single-slot safety module reduces the control panel size
- No more calculations for module power simplifies I/O configurations
- Field power feeding through the backplane eliminates the need for an extra Field Potential Distributor (FPD) module
