The NXR I/O platform provides an IP67-rated distributed connectivity solution. As a part of the fully integrated Sysmac platform, it increases machine data collection with IO-Link and reduces wiring in machine startup and replacement. Features include LED indicators for diagnostics, a DIP switch IP address setting and thorough cable diagnostics. The company says the platform has been shown to reduce sensor failure downtime by 50% and cable failure downtime by 67%, improve overall network health detection and shorten setup and recovery times by up to 90%. Target applications include projects involving a high density of digital I/O combined with space constraints.
