 Objective

At the end of this module the student will be able to articulate the
ControlNet product portfolio for I/O.

And more importantly you will learn what I/O is supported by what
controller and scanner.

Terms covered: in-cabinet I/O, on-machine I/O, and chassis-based I/O,

conformal coating

ControlNet I/O Platforms

Chassis-based I/O (IP20) is

specifically designed for a particular
processor, as part of its family.

Chassis-based I/O systems are also

capable of being mounted away
from the controller via networks.

Its IP20 rating means it requires an

enclosure.
