ioLogik E1200 Series
Ethernet remote I/O with 2-port Ethernet switch
A new era of extensible Ethernet I/O arrays is here. The ioLogik E1200 
industrial Ethernet remote I/O comes with two switched Ethernet ports 
to allow for the free flow of information downstream, to another local 
Ethernet device, or upstream, to a control server. Applications such as 
factory automation, security and surveillance systems, and tunnelled 
connections can make use of daisy-chained Ethernet for building 
multidrop I/O networks over standard Ethernet cables. Many industrial 
automation users are 
familiar with multidrop 
as the configuration

In remote automation applications, the control room and sensors 
are often far removed, making wiring over long distances a constant 
challenge. With peer-to-peer networking, users may now map a pair 
of ioLogik E1200 series modules so that input values will be directly 
transferred to output channels, greatly simplifying the wiring process 
and reducing wiring costs.
Save Time and Wiring Costs with Peer-to-Peer Communications
Daisy-Chained Ethernet I/O Connection
most typically used in fieldbus solutions. The daisy-chain capabilities 
supported by ioLogik E1200 Ethernet remote I/O units not only 
increase the extensibility and installation possibilities for your remote 
I/O applications, but also lower overall costs by reducing the need for 
separate Ethernet switches. Daisy-chaining devices in this way will also 
reduce overall labor and cabling expenses. For example, if a production 
facility contains 700 stations with 20 I/O points per station, the savings 
on wiring costs can reach 
as much as 15% of the 
total expense.
