This industrial control system offers machine builders a scalable, secure and standards-based control platform. It delivers I/O, power and communications across the pin-less electromagnetic backplane with a parallel architecture that supports ultrafast scan times regardless of I/O count. The removal of I/O pins helps to improve reliability and increase cybersecurity while forming a galvanic isolation barrier for every I/O channel. The backplane also allows installation of I/O modules in any orientation and location. Secure I/O modules deliver software-defined I/O for universal analog, discrete, Ethernet and Fieldbus signal types. All modules are encased in anti-tamper metal that is designed to be impenetrable without metal cutting tools.
