Acromag’s newly enhanced BusWorks® NT series Ethernet I/O modules brings the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities to the forefront. These modules simplify connectivity, offering robust options for industrial automation and data sharing. Here’s how they can drive value and innovation for your business.
Seamless Cloud Connectivity for Complex Industrial Networks
With the integration of OPC UA and MQTT protocols, Acromag’s NT series modules offer a streamlined approach to industrial data communication. Users can now seamlessly connect their industrial networks to the cloud, making real-time data readily accessible across IIoT applications. By combining traditional Ethernet protocols (Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET) with IIoT capabilities, these modules offer unparalleled flexibility, making it easier to manage and monitor operations in complex environments.
Key Benefits of Acromag’s IIoT-Enhanced Ethernet I/O Modules
- Flexible, Secure Data Exchange
With support for OPC UA and MQTT, the NT series modules facilitate secure and standardized data sharing. This integration allows users to transfer both real-time and IoT data over a single network cable, simplifying connectivity and enhancing the speed and accuracy of data exchanges. - Effortless Protocol Integration
Users can utilize an abstract data object model, removing protocol-specific hassles and simplifying data interaction. This feature ensures that fieldbus I/O tags, inputs, outputs, and configurations closely resemble typical I/O tags, reducing setup time and increasing ease of use. - Versatile I/O Configurations for Diverse Applications
Each NT module offers up to 16 input or output channels, enabling control over a range of signals such as voltage, current, temperature, and relay controls. With the ability to connect up to three additional NTX expansion I/O modules, businesses can manage up to 48 channels from a single IP address. - Powerful Edge-to-Cloud Capabilities
Data from remote equipment is now available for advanced applications on edge gateways or in the cloud. This feature supports critical applications such as predictive maintenance, energy management, and status monitoring, allowing businesses to make data-driven decisions in real time. - Reliable, High-Speed Communication
With Acromag’s i2o® peer-to-peer communication, data can transfer between modules directly without a master or host in between, ensuring rapid, seamless data exchange. Conditional logic capabilities also allow for user-defined control operations, further enhancing system efficiency.
Designed for Real-World Industrial Applications
Acromag’s NT series Ethernet I/O modules are built for high-performance industrial applications, including remote data acquisition, actuator control, status monitoring, and process control. With a web-based configuration interface, setting up and monitoring your modules is as straightforward as possible, even in the most demanding environments. Plus, Acromag’s dual-port Ethernet and flexible I/O options make it ideal for various industries, from manufacturing and energy to water treatment and transportation.
