Function Features

• Modular and Scalable Configuration

  The 8-slot design provides sufficient installation positions for various types of I/O modules. Users can flexibly configure analog input/output modules, digital modules, and communication modules according to specific industrial control requirements. This modular configuration allows the control system to expand or adjust functions without replacing the entire baseplate, significantly improving the adaptability of the system to different production scales and process changes.

• Stable Fieldbus Communication Transmission

  The baseplate is built with a dedicated fieldbus communication architecture that enables reliable data interaction between connected I/O modules and the upper-level control system. It ensures that sensor data, equipment status signals, and control commands are transmitted accurately and in real time. By supporting multiple fieldbus protocols, it breaks communication barriers between different types of modules and ensures the integrity and consistency of data in the entire control network.

• Hot-Swappable and Easy Maintenance

  It supports hot-swappable modules, which allows maintenance personnel to replace faulty I/O modules without shutting down the entire control system. This function eliminates production downtime caused by module maintenance or replacement, greatly improving the operational efficiency of industrial production lines. The standardized slot design also simplifies the installation process of modules, reducing the difficulty of on-site debugging and maintenance.

• Redundant Power Supply Support

  It is compatible with redundant power supply configurations. Connecting two power supplies to the baseplate ensures that if one power supply fails, the other power supply can immediately take over the power supply task. This redundant design prevents system outages caused by power supply failures and provides a strong guarantee for the continuous operation of industrial control systems that require uninterrupted work.
