SmartStix™ Fieldbus I/O is a new terminal-block style I/O for use with DeviceNet™ or PROFIBUS™ networks. SmartStix I/O can be used with a programmable controller, industrial computer, drive, or CE-based controller. Because SmartStix Fieldbus I/O connects to any DeviceNet or PROFIBUS network, it can be used alone or combined with other I/O to provide the most cost-effective I/O selection for the application. SmartStix Fieldbus I/O can cost less than $10 (USD) per point…and includes bus connectors.

DeviceNet, PROFIBUS—You Choose

If you are already using or are planning to use a DeviceNet or PROFIBUS control network, consider SmartStix Fieldbus I/O. DeviceNet is an open fieldbus that can connect a variety of devices and controls on a single network, significantly reducing installation costs. PROFIBUS-DP is an open control network that allows a single method of connectivity for automation equipment and devices on a single network that also greatly reduces installation costs. Whether you choose DeviceNet or PROFIBUS, there is a SmartStix I/O family to meet your needs and budget.

Compact, Rugged…Easy to Set Up

SmartStix Fieldbus I/O is extremely compact, providing 16 and 32 point digital I/O in a package only 1.5" (39mm) deep and a footprint of 2"H x 4.5"W (50 x 116mm) or 2"H x 7"W (50 x 177mm). With its small footprint, SmartStix Fieldbus I/O takes up very little panel space, whether located in the main control panel or tucked away in a remote location. SmartStix Fieldbus I/O has a barrier style terminal strip and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or directly to the panel. The module is designed for rugged environments, and it is easy to set up. Plus, removable terminals make field replacement fast and convenient.

Local or Distributed I/O

SmartStix Fieldbus I/O may be the answer to your local and remote I/O needs. SmartStix Fieldbus I/O connects to a wide variety of controller and computer DeviceNet or PROFIBUS Masters. Use it as your only I/O system or supplement your existing I/O system. With its compact design, SmartStix Fieldbus I/O can fit in the smallest areas in your panel, and since it's a fieldbus I/O, it can also be a cost-effective distributed I/O.
