PLC I/O System XN300
Signal to Power - Eaton Electric Japan's PLC I/O system reliably reflects your operations.
The ultra-compact, slice-based I/O system XN300, equipped with push-in connectors and high connection density, can be used as the local I/O level for Eaton's XC300 PLC or as the remote I/O level for CAN and EtherCAT networks via a gateway. When combined with HMI/PLC products, it provides state-of-the-art automation solutions for the production of standard machinery. The various models of I/O modules and application-oriented features enhance flexibility and reduce equipment costs. Additionally, it enables customized system solutions while minimizing installation space. The cutting-edge I/O slices are easy to install, making handling simple, and I/O blocks can be pre-assembled with sensors and actuators. Plug-in connections and clear signal assignments simplify commissioning, extend system functionality, and meet specific requirements in the field of machine construction.
