Controllers and I/O

Boost system productivity with powerful controllers & I/O. The I/A Series® Control & I/O sub-system combines seamless, fully integrated control with a powerful set of tools to optimize your plants productivity & performance.

The latest generation of I/A Series controllers can coexist with and migrate from the earliest generations of I/A Series hardware. The CP270s provide twice the capacity and three times the performance of older controllers - improving cost effectiveness in demanding applications. The CP270s are optionally fault-tolerant & perform regulatory, logic, timing & sequential control, as well as data acquisition, alarm detection & notification.

Patented Fault-tolerance. Providing the highest availability of any system in the process industry, I/A Series hardware is engineered for non-stop operation. Fault-tolerance resides at all levels of the system, from process controllers to redundant field networks & fieldbus modules. With innovative industrial packaging & rugged environmental protection, with optional intrinsically safe capabilities, our Control & I/O solution promises unsurpassed reliability for your process. I/A Series controllers and I/O products are designed to run in G3 environments on the plant floor with up to a 60º C ambient temperature. Use of fiber cabling in the controller virtually eliminates noise and grounding problems in the system.

Remote I/O Solution. Designed for highly distributed applications, our I/O locations are best suited to the application -- in the control room or the process units. Our innovative compact packaging reduces the physical space required in the control room and when distributed to the field dramatically reduces the cost of field wiring.
