Serial transmission system controls up
to 128 pts
Output control of input and output is fundamental in respect of data transmission for which a new serial transmission system is can control a maximum of 128 points (64 input and 64 outputs).
Output Control of input and output is fundamental in respect of data transmission SMC's answer to this challenge is a new serial transmission system, the EX500 Gateway unit, which is capable of controlling a maximum of 128 points (64 input and 64 outputs)

Two and three port, pilot operated, solenoid valves, with high pressure performance answer process industry and PET machine builder's requests for use with air or inert gas.
Controlling up to 4 sets of 16 output points and 16 input points, allows easy and flexible installation of multiples of valve islands, when used in conjunction with SMC's newly launched SV valve system.
As well as providing decentralised control of the system.
The use of connector type cables for all wiring prevents miswiring the power supply lines are included in all cables, separate power supplies for SI units and input devices are not required.
Communication speed varies with protocol chosen, from 9.6Kbit/sec to 12Mbit/sec, with current consumption at 200mA or less.
The EX500 is compatible with Device Net, Profibus-DP and RIO in controlling valves and is built to IP65 specification.
