Offering complete automation platform, Bedrock™ delivers I/O, power, and communications across pin-less electromagnetic backplane with parallel architecture that supports fast scan times regardless of I/O count. Removal of I/O pins increases cyber security while forming galvanic isolation barrier for I/O channels. Supporting 10 to thousands of I/O points, controller can run virtually any application independent of size or control task: discrete, batch, continuous, or multivariable control.
