N-IO (Network I/O) is a key technology for Agile

Project Execution. It simplifies the whole process of wiring field devices and supports flexible binding.

Several industrial automaton vendors have

developed smart, configurable I/O technology

capable of supporting multiple signal types on a per-

channel basis, and this development is arguably the

most critical for the parallel execution of

process/mechanical and automation system design.

It can support multiple signal types on a per-channel

basis, and this development is arguably the most

critical for parallel execution of process/mechanical

and automation system design (Fig. 3).

Increase in I/O count over the project duration can

be accommodated with a standard cabinet

mounted with N-IO, which can then be assigned

after termination earlier or later in the project.

N-IO: Smart, Configurable

Fig. 3. Configurable N-IO cabinets are a key element of new project management techniques.

So when changes comes late in the project, such as

the shift from a point level sensor to a level transmitter,

as mentioned previously, it is a simple matter to

reconfigure the connection point in the cabinet.
