Fieldbus Remote I/O –
VIPA SLIO
Open to all requirements:
If tasks increase you can easily extend SLIO and thereby your application and implementation due to its modularity.
Open to other systems:
SLIO can be fully integrated with other PLC/PAC systems.
Open to all protocols: For example: PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT and Modbus TCP.
Fieldbus Remote I/O –
VIPA SLIO
The power modules do their work perfectly:
They separate the potential groups.
If necessary, they provide for a refresh of the power supply.
But these general features are also of interest to you:
The interface modules come including replaceable power module.

• General isolation from electronic and installation level.*
• Optimal placement of the interfaces for space saving
connections.**
• Galvanic isolation between fieldbus and backplane bus.
• DIP-switches for address configuration with transparent cover.
• Electrical isolation between fieldbus and input/output level.
