Valve I/O
The advantage of a valve I/O is the amount of flexibility and control it gives you in addition to the significant labor savings. SMC's latest innovations in fieldbus technology give you the power of decentralized communication and the flexibility needed for your control design. SMC supports wide variety of open fieldbus protocols to suit your networking needs including IO-Link, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, DeviceNet and more.
EX600 - Modular Platform
The EX600 serial interface offers a full suite of diagnostics and programmable parameters to meet the most stringent requirements. The EX600 offers excellent flexibility including digital input, digital output and analog input unit options. With the use of D-sub output blocks, a maximum of 9 remote D-sub manifolds can be attached to one EX600 communication module. This serial interface is compatible with series SV1000/2000/3000, VQC1000/2000/4000, S0700 and the new SY series valves. Available protocols include PROFIBUS-DP®, DeviceNet™, CC-Link, Ethernet I/P™ and EtherCAT®, PROFINET, POWERLINK and CC-Link IE Field™
EX260 - Output Only
EX260 series is a compact and cost effective fieldbus solution for output applicable to SMC's most popular directional control valves such as New SY, SV, VQC, and S0700 Series. It can control up to 32 solenoids in one manifold. Available protocols are EtherNet/IP™, Profinet®, EtherCAT®, DeviceNet™ and CC-Link. EX260 series has standard dual port connectivity to eliminate the need of switches or branch connector, reducing wiring and component cost. IP67 enclosure rating ensures protection against dust and washdown environment.
EXW1 - Compact Wireless
EXW1 series is a compact and lightweight wireless communication module that is intended to be installed on industrial robot or moving fixtures. EXW1 supports a faster wireless communication up to 1 Mbps and external antenna to allow installation within metal shielded locations and locations that have obstructed line of sight. EXW1 can be used in combination of EX600-W wireless fieldbus systems.
The EXW1 wireless cannot be used in countries where wireless is not supported. Refer to the catalog for details of countries where wireless is supported.
