Product Launch of Weidmuller Remote I/O uremote Product Launch of Weidmuller Remote I/O
How to go up against the big players Why Remote I/O Remote I/O slices are designed to trick the PLC into thinking that is has locally connected IO points. Major advantages are to increase flexibility and reduce cost in both components and cabling. Advantages to the OEM Not locked in to a single PLC vendor. Compatible with multiple platforms Expand and integrate old/new machines into one larger more efficient system without changing controllers Not limited by the size of the PLC cabinet but still have the decision making done centrally How to go up against the big players Key is use the uremote as a cost effective alternative to having a PLC everywhere No licensing fees for extra software for individual PLCs Compatibility with multiple platforms Save processing time on PLC Easily integrate with Wireless Devices and Wired devices Use the uremote as an extension of the PLC & it’s I/O tt month 201X
The Americas Market for Remote PLC I/O Modules by Machine Builder Sector
Key Design Benefits Smaller switch cabinets Smallest design on the market (module width of 11.5 mm) Great efficiency with just one feed-in for 64 modules Two separate 10 A supply paths for simple maintenance and planning saves on power-feed modules The modular and compact design speeds things up Pre-assembled cables for easy wiring Intuitive handling without any errors One row of connections for improved clarity with "PUSH IN" connection system Hot-swapping capability: replacement of electronics in operation accelerates service work Extremely fast High-speed station bus with 256 DI / DO in 20 µs makes maximum electronic performance possible Real-time mapping of processes

Pricing & Stock Prices are set to be very competitive with direct competition like: Phoenix Wago Beckhoff Compared to PLC I/O cards, the uremote slices come in at approximately ½ the cost of standard PLC I/O modules with double the flexibility. Stock Will be in Canada & USA in approx. 3 weeks. Demos Non-functional samples will be handed out at the regional meetings. Functional Demos will also be brought in an left so that it can be shared fro customer demos and trade shows
