The more compact machines become the more flexible the I/O component assemblies need to be. To address this requirement Berghof has introduced a whole series of ultra-compact and multifunctional I/O modules for the EtherCAT I/O system E I/O under the system designation E-XR. An automation solution with E-XR gets by with as few different I/O modules as possible. In this way users can optimise the outlay on the logistics chain for production and replacement requirements.
multifunctional: all important input and output signals on one card
optimal cost: from freely configurable full version to the fixed configured minimal function version
systematically: identical in function to the DC1000 Extension cards for display controllers
