Our FLEX 5000® I/O modules are a rugged and flexible distributed I/O solution, which allows you to choose your I/O to meet your operational needs. FLEX 5000 I/O enhances communication with 1 Gb EtherNet/IP™ connectivity, which offers higher speed and increased bandwidth. To provide flexibility in your network architecture, these modules include 2 copper or 2 fiber ports (SFP) and support for DLR, Star, Linear, and PRP topologies.
What’s Coming in Q1 2023?
Elevate operational efficiency with the new FLEX 5000 isolated-frequency input modules
Maximize uptime and drive better productivity with the right data at the right time. Our FLEX 5000 I/O isolated-frequency input modules offer the ability of reporting frequency, acceleration and directions. The new modules use the Producer/Consumer communication model, which helps provide insightful and timely data exchange. Ideal for Process, Hybrid and Discrete applications.
