Industrial-Strength Ethernet I/O with High-Density Efficiency

  • Convenient Housing: 22.5mm wide with pluggable, front-facing terminals
  • Simple USB Configuration: Free Windows software enables easy setup with a USB-to-PC connection
  • Dual Ethernet: Two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports with auto negotiation reduce switch port requirements
  • Peer-to-Peer Ethernet Communication: i2o technology in Modbus units enable module-to-module communication without a controller
  • Fully Isolated: I/O, network, and power circuits isolated from each other at 1500V AC for safety and noise immunity
  • Redundant Power: Accepts power via terminal block or DIN rail bus connector for simple backup power supplies
  • Ethernet Communication Types: Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP/IP, and i2o Peer-to-Peer Communication
  • Wide Ambient Temperature Range: Provides reliable operation from -40 to 70°C
  • Built Rugged: Shock and vibration resistant, with CE and UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 Zone 2 approvals and ATEX certification.

The BusWorks® XT Series is a rugged, flexible line of Ethernet remote I/O modules featuring channel versatility with a housing to reliably withstand harsh industrial environments.

Rugged construction, high-density design, and convenient USB programming make these instruments ideal for many applications including remote monitoring, distributed control, and SCADA.

The BusWorks® XT Series includes high-performance, space-saving analog and discrete remote I/O modules – with Xtra Technology – for Ethernet Networks.

Using i2o technology, many BusWorks XTBusWorks 900EN, and EtherStax I/O modules have the ability to operate like a long-distance transmitter. Either reproduce your sensor inputs at Point A as 4-20mA control signals at Point B, or monitor a discrete device at one site by reproducing the level with a relay at another location.
