Remote I/O modules provide flexible options for distributed applications
July 2026
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
Dinkle International is now stocking and shipping the versatile iO-GRID NEMO industrial-grade remote input/output (I/O) modules. The iO-GRID NEMO series provides several options for integrating discrete I/O signals distributed throughout a site, and connecting them to microcontrollers, programmable logic controllers or other host systems for digitalisation, monitoring and control.
The iO-GRID NEMO series is available in versions supporting five leading industrial Ethernet protocols: PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link IE Field Basic. Ethernet models include two RJ45 ports with an integrated two-port switch for easy daisy-chain expansion, while CC-Link models use terminal blocks for network connection and pass-through to the next station. LED indicators provide clear status information, and firmware can be updated via a standard USB Type-C connection.
Modules operate throughout a wide ambient temperature range of -10 to 60°C using standard 24 V DC, and mount securely to DIN rails with a reliable mechanical and grounding connection. Detachable terminal blocks facilitate installation and replacement. A push-in design with large wire entries requires no tools and makes wiring fast and easy. All models are CE and UL certified.
A range of models covers common signalling needs, all in 24 V DC sinking or sourcing versions:
32-channel discrete input: Single-function input module for high-density signal collection
32-channel discrete output: Single-function output module for high-density control
16-channel discrete input/output: Mixed I/O for flexible applications
Daudin remote I/O solutions, such as iO-GRID NEMO, provide a practical way to interface with distributed discrete I/O points and digitalise them for use with most host systems. Standard products address most applications, and Daudin also offers customisation via extensive hardware, firmware, software, labelling, branding and application-specific design capabilities.
