The ClearLink motion and I/O controller offers users of EtherNet/IP-compatible PLCs, such as CompactLogix, MicroLogix and ControlLogix, a way to save space and wiring in their automated machinery. It provides four axes of motion control, a serial port, 13 configurable digital and analog I/O points, expandable to 77 I/O points. It includes a licensed RSLogix/Studio5000-compatible EDS file with logical names and add-on profiles, which allows for easy mapping of I/O assemblies. Outputs can control a power-off brake or other inductive loads without a separate relay or clamping diode. Every I/O point has a dedicated LED for easy troubleshooting and diagnostics.
