Piconet combines the rugged connectorized concept of TURCK’s AIM™ stations with the modular I/O concept of the BL20 and BL67 systems.
Piconet stations are IP 67 rated and designed to be mounted directly on the machine with no need for a separate enclosure. Like the
BL (BL20, BL67) systems, Piconet consists of a gateway with connected I/O modules, but instead of connecting the I/O to a fixed backplane,
Piconet uses a distributed fiber-optic ring to communicate between the gateway and I/O.
Subnetwork systems offer a very flexible approach to connectorized I/O, while allowing individual stations to be mounted as close as
possible to I/O devices.
Up to 255 extension modules may be connected to one gateway, with no more than 5 m of fiber-optic cable between each module.
Small rugged distributed machine I/O available in a variety of models:
- DeviceNet™
- PROFIBUS®-DP
- MODBUS™
- CANopen™
- RS232
- RS485
