ProMat 2025: Modicon Edge I/O NTS Data Aggregation Device
The Modicon Edge I/O NTS is a future-ready Input/Output (I/O) system for data aggregation.
All within a single I/O family, applications include those in production machinery, discrete manufacturing, and continuous process industries. Machine builders, system integrators, and industrial end users can use the Modicon Edge I/O NTS across many industry segments, including machinery, packaging, food & beverage, life sciences, water/wastewater, mining & metals, critical infrastructure, data centers, and energy & chemicals.
The Modicon Edge I/O NTS will be debuted at ProMat 2025 in booth #S659.
Using open Ethernet protocols to deliver connectivity to a variety of devices and architectures, Edge I/O NTS embeds data intelligence in the latest technologies to deliver better performance, availability, and cybersecurity. As internal communication of Edge I/O NTS, OPC UA technology is used which enables secure communication and interoperability of the various Ethernet protocols.
With the Modicon Edge I/O NTS, machine builders, system integrators, and industrial end users can:
- Save time from pre-sales to operations with adaptive tools, simpler design and wiring, quicker start-up of new machines and processes for less time to market.
- Cut costs and reduce Mean Time to Repair and unplanned downtime given the system's design featuring environmentally hardened options, hot swap capabilities, and integrated diagnostics.
- Increase flexibility with the ability to customize I/O islands and get the most from the system's compact design—realizing more I/O modules and more functionality in less space.
- Prepare for the future of data-driven industries thanks to the system's compliance with cybersecurity regulations, allowing end users to securely access and integrate the data they need to optimize industrial efficiency, agility, sustainability, and profitability.
The Modicon Edge I/O NTS supports industrial digital transformation with cost savings and reduced downtime—all while keeping performance improvement and cybersecurity at the forefront of industrial operations.
