2. 2 Outline PLC I/O Market Trends Birth of Distributed I/O NXIO 2 nd Generation Distributed I/O Product Features Target Market How to use NXIO to reduce costs Internal Quality

3. 3 PLC I/O Trends

4. 4 Large End Users and Complex OEMs are looking for ways to further reduce their costs Hardware PLC and I/O costs keep decreasing so now Space, Labor and Maintenance of I/O Wiring is becoming a major cost Networked I/O Trend PLC I/O Trends PLC HW COSTS - DOWN SPACE, WIRING COSTS - UP Large Factories - Refineries - Automotive Complex Machine OEMs

5. 5 Customers purchasing I/O as a Component Customers can buy any PLC Controller and use any I/O platform due to emergence of Global Network Standards (e.g. Profibus, DeviceNet) e.g. Controller is Brand ZZZ and I/O is OE Max NXIO PLC I/O Trends Servo OE Max Controls Bridge OE M AX Controls NX PLC NXIO Brand ZZZ Brand AAA

6. 6 Birth of the Distributed I/O Concept

7. 7 Improvement over PLC I/O Birth of “Distributed I/O” Concept to reduce Wiring costs Combination of Network + Modular I/O + Terminal Block (TB) Network provides Diagnostic Data back to Controller for easy Maintenance PLC Controller Network Master Network Slave Network Slave I/O TB I/O TB Distributed I/O

8. 8 Improvement over PLC I/O Popular for over 10yrs in North America and Europe where space and labor are very expensive Trend will continue into China Growing Number of Large Factories (e.g. Automotive, Food and Beverage) with Networking Requirements Labor and Space Costs will increase over time Productivity (not just low cost labor) will become a Competitive Advantage Many Terminal Block or Sensor Suppliers start to sell Distributed I/O platforms WAGO, Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff, Turck, Opto22 but they lack a PLC background

9. 9 NXIO 2 nd Generation Distributed I/O Design

10. 10 PLC I/O 市场趋势 The trend for the Semiconductor OEMs is to adopt Distributed I/O DeviceNet is adopted as a Semiconductor Standard and has become very popular in Asia and North America Saves on space and wiring OE Max Controls launches NXIO in 2004 2 nd Generation Distributed I/O Design Slice-type with high granularity of I/O

17. 17 Target Market NXIO is not only for highly distributed applications. Wherever you need networked I/O, you can use NXIO

18. 18 Target Markets DeviceNet Market Save space (network power for sensors) Motor Control Centers (overload diagnostics) Semiconductor, Electronics Industry Profibus DP Market Cost Reduction from using Siemens ET200 I/O High Performance SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) DCS (Process Control – Distributed Control System) Outdoor Applications (-20C to 55C Rating) Future: Modbus TCP (Ethernet), Modbus Plus

19. 19 Target Markets Large Variety of Control Solutions PLC PC Based Soft PLC Web Based VME Controller Compact PCI HMI PC

20. 20 Advantages of using NXIO How to use NXIO to reduce costs - At the same time improve the overall value of your system.

21. 21 Lowering Your Total PLC HW Cost Easy way to lower Total HW Cost is to use NXIO with your current Control Solution Keeping same PLC minimizes redesign of system Cost Reduction Example Continue to use Siemens S7-315DP Controller with Profibus Replace Siemens ET-200 I/O (typically M or S series) with NXIO S7-315DP Controller S7-200M (S7-300) + Terminal Block Profibus Network NXIO - Smaller - Easier to wire - Lower Cost

22. 22 Reduce your Labor Costs Internal Field Power Bus eliminates extra Wires for Commons Reduces wiring by over 25% Reduces wiring mistakes Special Modules available for wiring Analog Shields No extra terminal blocks needed for wiring NXIO is a Terminal Block “Spring Clamp” Terminal Block design eliminates need for Screwdriver Guarantees good connection even under vibration

23. 23 Eliminate Wasted/Unused I/O Points With Traditional PLC I/O platforms, I/O Points and Space can be wasted e.g. Need 480pts of Digital I/O but only 2 Analog I/O and 1 High Speed Counter NXIO is highly configurable 16pt Digital I/O 1 Channel HSC 2 Channel Analog This lowers HW costs and saves Cabinet Space Typical PLC 16pt I/O Module NXIO 16pt Module Smaller Size

24. 24 The Quality Inside Let’s look inside NXIO

25. 25 Superior Vibration Resistance WAGO/BeckHoff (Press fit type)(Contact Type) OE Max “Press fit” structure provides superior vibration resistance

26. 26 Optimized Communication Protocol Reduced hardware cost by serial communication.
