An increasing number of applications are demanding shorter response times – especially in the machinery construction sector. In order to comply with these requirements for I/O communication in real-time, Phoenix Contact offers the new Axioline real-time I/O system for control cabinets. Using Axioline, response times of less than 1 ms can be achieved, thanks to an offset of only 1 μs per I/O module. In this case, the higher-level network exclusively defines the system speed.
The I/O system is simple to handle. It has the PIT direct connector system for wiring without tools, which Phoenix Contact already uses in its Clipline terminal block system. Outlets at both sides of the station ensure transparent cabling in the control cabinet. An integrated I/O tester reads in the station via a USB interface without requiring an additional network or additional control, and tests the inputs and outputs. The station can be transparently and clearly labelled using the Bluemark high-speed printer from Phoenix Contact.
The real-time I/O system sets itself apart due to its robust mechanical design and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is tested for continuous shock and has a wide temperature range. Thanks to its low radiation, it is certified for residential areas and office environments.
The system has IP20 protection, is open for all Ethernet-based communication protocols and is optimised for Profinet. It supplements the two Inline Modular and Inline Block IO systems available from Phoenix Contact.

Editor's Choice Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
I was giving a course at a remote mine in the middle of the Namibian desert. We were discussing tuning responses, and as I always do on my courses, I mentioned that in my opinion ¼ amplitude damped tuning is not desirable, and is in fact not good.
