Loop your equipment into data connections with this interface module from Siemens. By linking I/O modules to an industrial network, it carries process signals across the system to let automated machines communicate seamlessly. With its support for 100Mbps transfer rates, the unit gets information from A to B in a flash, delivering efficient results. Compatibility with the widely used PROFINET protocol means the component is a sure fit for standard networks. As it cycles through its channels in just 4ms, it keeps up with sudden signal changes to handle fast-moving applications. You'll see interface modules like this working in fulfilment centres and renewable energy installations.

• Supports full-duplex protocol, carrying information in both directions for reliable communication
• Simple rail mounting allows quick installation into a cabinet
• LED indicators for clear status signalling
• Protected against surge voltages up to 1.5kV, cutting the risk of damage from electrical faults

This unit connects up to 30 modules to a network, so it's a handy hook-up point for complex I/O setups.
