On-machine modular I/O system for industrial Ethernet, BL67, elevates variety of I/O signals to common industrial Ethernet networks, including digital inputs and outputs, analog I/O, and such specialty I/O as serial interfaces and RFID. System combines 3 Ethernet protocols – EtherNet/IP™, Modbus™ TCP, and PROFINET® – in one device and only allows one Ethernet master to control outputs; input and diagnostic data are available to the other protocols.
