Network N-IO uses software-configurable I/O points that allow field technicians to wire analog inputs, analog outputs, discrete inputs and discrete outputs to any terminations. There is no need to produce I/O wiring diagrams beforehand. Flexible binding enables project efficiencies by allowing linking between the application software and field I/O hardware to take place at any time. Because remotely terminated I/O is included, no additional marshalling is required. Standard smart junction boxes also eliminate custom design work and have reduced drawing production by 90%. The boxes can be delivered to the project site or to skid suppliers any time during the project.
