Support Wi-Fi hotspot and Mesh Network
PRELIMINARY

14. Focus - IP Controller Daisy-chaining
Each IP-CTRL module has an onboard IP router that interconnects IP packets between the LAN 1 and LAN 2 connectors.
This extends the overall range of Ethernet cabling from the router, and eliminates the expense of home run cabling to the router for each controller.
PRELIMINARY

15. PRELIMINARY 3. Cost-effectiveness
Connectivity between IP Controllers through IP daisy- chaining and / or Wi-Fi bridge effectively reduces the total installed costs and IT infrastructure costs.
PRELIMINARY
Wi-Fi communication (through a Wi-Fi adapter) is significantly less expensive than running multiple individual lines from a switch to each device.

16. PRELIMINARY 4. Open-to-Wireless
A USB port allows for connecting an EnOcean Adapter, to support a wide range of wireless battery-less sensors and actuators Bi-directional communication

21. Focus: Overall Assembly Dimensions
PRELIMINARY
1 x PS x IP-Server + 1 x IOM I/O Extension Module = 232,62 mm
Size with typical 100 points (width): 1 x PS x IP-Server + 7 x IOM-8UI-6DO = 730 mm

22. PRELIMINARY 8. Free Programming
IP controllers are freely programmable through EC-gfxProgram graphical programming tool To save downtime and facilitate the controllers programming, the technician can connect directly to EC-gfxProgram in standalone, without having to first access EC-NetAX
PRELIMINARY

23. PRELIMINARY 9. Unique Design
A compact design with reduced form factor and stacked dual row detachable terminal strips that increases I/O density of the product Hinged gullwing cover can be used to separate top assembly easily from the sub-base and protect or hides I/O terminal strips
PRELIMINARY
Hot-swappable top assembly facilitates servicing without interrupting communication between modules
