Embedded I/O

Bulletin 1799 Embedded I/O

Bulletin 1799 Embedded I/O provides a standard interface between an input device and machine actuators. You can leverage our proven design technology and reliability without the cost of custom‑packaged solutions—critical for cost-sensitive machine-embedded applications. An available expansion board and universal I/O reduce your initial material investment, minimize inventory, reduce cost per I/O expansion, and maximize I/O use for each application.

Features

  • Cards can be embedded directly into or onto a machine
  • 24V DC universal inputs and user-selectable sink/source output types
  • Built-in EtherNet/IP™ or DeviceNet™ network connectivity
  • Dual-port EtherNet/IP card includes embedded switch technology to support device-level ring (DLR) topologies
  • DeviceLogix™ Smart Component Technology enables local control of card outputs
  • Zone Control I/O (ZCIO) cards support direct communication between cards without going through a network scanner

  • Our DeviceLogix Smart Component Technology integrates logic-solving capability into I/O, motor starters, push-buttons, and other control components, delivering higher-performance and lower-cost distributed control.
  • The Embedded Switch Technology embeds popular Ethernet switch features directly into your hardware to support high performance applications, without the need for additional configuration. This technology enables linear and device-level ring topologies for EtherNet/IP applications.

Software

Use the Function Block Editor in RSNetWorx software (version 3.0 or later) to create DeviceLogix function blocks and to configure input signal delay time on Zone Control cards.
