What is the difference between remote IO and distributed IO
People often discuss the difference between remote IO and distributed IO. However, some people believe that they are the same and terms can be exchanged, while others believe the opposite. What is the difference between remote I/O and distributed I/O? The following is a guide from remote IO manufacturer Zhongshan Technology to understand the difference between remote IO and distributed IO.
Remote and distributed within the location range.3008N TRICONEX controller
Today”s DCS is a control system with many distributed autonomous controllers, each with many continuous operations. This controller is bundled together by a central monitoring controller. We have used the terms remote and distributed in the locations of I/O and controllers. It is easy to see how these terms are misunderstood.
From the perspective of PLC, remote I/O represents the actual distance that the I/O module is away from the control PLC. Distributed I/O is very intelligent, as mentioned earlier, remote I/O is sometimes referred to as distributed I/O. Let”s take a look at the definition of distributed I/O. This definition is different from remote I/O.
Generally speaking, distributed I/O has a brain or some computing power. By default, it is remote. As mentioned earlier, remote I/O is located physically far from the control PLC. Remote I/O has no brain and cannot perform any computational functions at all. It can be said with certainty that when you hear the term remote I/O, it only involves one controller or PLC, while distributed I/O has multiple controllers.
ZSR-Ethernet-2184 is a distributed Ethernet RTU that supports 4-way switch digital input (Di), 8-way analog input (Ai), 4-way relay (Do) output, 1-way RS485 serial port data acquisition to Ethernet, and Modbus RTU terminal. Merge 485 to Ethernet serial port server function, support Modbus to TCP/UDP protocol conversion, support virtual serial port, and interface with various configuration software. Supports signal acquisition in the range of 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-30V, or 0-20ma, 4-20ma, with built-in software and hardware watchdog, industrial grade components, and stable operation in an industrial environment of -40~85 ° C.
Building a High Channel Density Digital IO Module for the Next Generation Industrial Automation Controller
There are currently many articles introducing Industry 4.0, and smart sensors are becoming increasingly popular in factory environments (I and other authors have written about these topics). Although we have all noticed a significant increase in the use of sensors in factories, processing plants, and even some newly built automation systems, the widespread use of sensors has also brought about an important change, which is the need to handle a large amount of IO within these old controllers. These IOs may be digital or analog. This requires the construction of high-density IO modules with size and heat limitations.
Usually, digital IO in PLC consists of discrete devices such as resistors/capacitors or independent FET drives. In order to minimize the size of the controller as much as possible and to handle 2 to 4 times the number of channels, this has led to a shift from a separate approach to an integrated approach.3008N TRICONEX controller
We can use the entire article to illustrate the drawbacks of the split method, especially when the number of channels processed by each module reaches 8 or more. However, when it comes to high heat/power consumption, a large number of split components (from the perspective of size and mean time between failures (MTBF)), and the need for reliable system specifications, it is sufficient to demonstrate that the split method is not feasible.
Figure 1 shows the technical challenges faced in building high-density digital input (DI) and digital output (DO) modules. In both DI and DO systems, size and heat dissipation issues need to be considered.
Design a High Channel Density Digital Input Module
The traditional split design uses a resistive voltage divider network to convert 24V/48V signals into signals that can be used by microcontrollers. The front-end can also use discrete RC filters. If isolation is required, external optocouplers are sometimes used
For example, the current limiting value of DI devices in ADI is 3.5mA/channel. So, as shown in the figure, we use two channels in parallel. If the system must be connected to a Type 2 input, adjust the REFDI resistance and RIN resistance. For some newer components, we can also use pins or select current values through software.
To support a 48V digital input signal (not a common requirement), a similar process needs to be used, and an external resistor must be added to adjust the voltage threshold at one end of the field. Set the value of this external resistor so that the current limiting value * R+threshold of the pin meets the voltage threshold specification at one end of the field (see device data manual).
Finally, due to the connection between the digital input module and the sensor, the design must meet the requirements of reliable operating characteristics. When using a split type scheme, these protective functions must be carefully designed. When selecting integrated digital input devices, ensure that the following are determined according to industry standards:
Wide input voltage range (e.g. up to 40V).
Able to use on-site power supply (7V to 65V).
Capable of withstanding high ESD (± 15kV ESD air gap) and surges (usually 1KV).
Providing overvoltage and overheating diagnosis is also very useful for MCU to take appropriate actions.
Design a High Channel Density Digital Output Module
A typical discrete digital output design has a FET with a driving circuit driven by a microcontroller. Different methods can be used to configure FETs to drive microcontrollers.
The definition of a high-end load switch is that it is controlled by an external enable signal and connects or disconnects the power supply from a given load. Compared to low-end load switches, high-end switches provide current to the load, while low-end switches connect or disconnect the grounding connection of the load to obtain current from the load. Although they all use a single FET, the problem with low-end switches is that there may be a short circuit between the load and ground. High end switches protect the load and prevent short circuits to ground. However, the implementation cost of low-end switches is lower. Sometimes, the output driver is also configured as a push-pull switch, requiring two MOSFETs. Refer to Figure 4 below.
Integrated DO devices can integrate multiple DO channels into a single device. Due to the different FET configurations used for high-end, low-end, and push-pull switches, different devices can be used to achieve each type of output driver.
What are the types of integrated IO modules3008N TRICONEX controller
For a programmable logic controller, IO fulfills the responsibilities of data acquisition and instruction output. What control objectives can a PLC achieve, and the quantity and type of IO are crucial. For general integrated PLCs, the number and types of IO interfaces are constant. Some friends may ask, what if you encounter a complex control project with insufficient IO ports in the PLC? Don”t worry, nowadays PLCs have communication interfaces that can be connected to other IO couplers to achieve IO expansion. So, what are the types of IO modules that we can integrate in our daily lives? Actually, it can be mainly divided into four categories, namely:
1. Digital signal acquisition IO can achieve discontinuous signal acquisition, and a typical IO type is a counter input IO module.

2. Digital output IO, which can send out command signals of digital quantities to control actuators, such as PWM IO, can send pulse signals to control servo motors and stepper motors. In addition to PWM IO, we often use relay output type IO.
3. After discussing digital IO, let”s talk about analog IO. Firstly, analog input IO includes voltage analog input IO, current analog input IO, temperature analog input IO, etc. They collect continuous signals.
4. Finally, there is the output type IO of analog quantity, mainly including voltage analog quantity output type IO and current analog quantity output type IO. Some friends may ask why there is no temperature this time, but there are relatively few applications, mainly based on voltage and current types.3008N TRICONEX controller
Industrial automation solutions, starting with remote IO modules!
The remote IO module is mainly used for collecting analog and digital signals on industrial sites, and can also output analog and digital signals to control equipment. It is possible to expand the input and output ports of data processing equipment such as PLCs and collection instruments. For example, a PLC only has 10 analog input interfaces, but if 30 analog quantities need to be collected on site, remote IO expansion needs to be added.
Furthermore, due to the distance between the equipment and the main control PLC or industrial computer, RS-485 bus is usually used for transmission. There are also some factories with high levels of automation that use industrial Ethernet to control remote IO modules. In the past, when laying lines between equipment and cabinets, people had to connect them one by one, which greatly increased the cost of cables and construction time. Moreover, if the distance was relatively long, they also faced problems such as voltage attenuation. And with the remote IO module, it effectively solves this problem. If your cabinet is 200 meters away from the site and you do not use remote IO, then you need to lay out each signal line for 200 meters. Installing the remote IO module on site can save you a lot of cable costs and reduce the complexity of construction from a cost perspective.
Simply put, sometimes some IO is set up in the on-site device cluster, which can be connected to the PLC through a communication cable to send the signal to any place where it is needed, saving wiring and PLC”s own IO points. Sometimes, the logical “remote” is because the allowed number of “local IO” cannot meet the actual needs, and it needs to be connected to the “remote IO template”, depending on the actual situation.
In addition, the general cabinet room is located on the device site. But some control signals, such as emergency stop and bypass, are implemented in the control room, so remote IO modules need to be used to send these signals to the control system in the cabinet room.
Why use remote I/O?
1. Because in some industrial applications, it is impossible to install PLCs with local I/O modules near on-site equipment due to harsh environments.
2. When you want to place the I/O module near the field device to eliminate long multi-core cables, you can receive signals from distant sensors and send remote control signals to control valves, motors, and other final actuators. The signal can be transmitted at any distance using various transmission protocols such as Ethernet and Profibus through high-speed media such as twisted pair and fiber optic.
3. Multiple transmission protocols such as Ethernet and Profibus can be used to send signals at any distance on high-speed media such as twisted pair and fiber optic.
