2. SLIO What is it anyway? 2 DECEMBER 15

3. SLIO IS... 3... one of the world's most efficient, innovative and modern decentralized I / O systems,... a newly developed system, targeted to the needs of our customers,... efficient: It switches and detects even in the microsecond range. SLIO is loved by customers who... want to modularize, want to standardize and want to remain flexible. SLIO makes it easy for you. by its compactness, intelligence and flexibility. DECEMBER 15

4. SLIO Your Benefits. 4 DECEMBER 15

5. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY. How SLIO simplifies your work. 5 DECEMBER 15

6. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY: Compact: Width 12,9 mm, height 109 mm, depth 76,5 mm 6 Standardized: Direct mounting on 35 mm standard profile rail Extendable: SLIO is easily and flexibly extendable because of its modularity. With up to 64 signal and function modules per interface. 109 mm 12,9 mm Interface module Power module Potential distributor module FOR EXAMPLE, BY ITS MODULAR CONSTRUCTION Function module Signal module DECEMBER 15

7. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY : BECAUSE IT ADAPTS TO YOUR NEEDS. Open to all requirements: If tasks increase you can easily extend SLIO and thereby your application and implementation due to its modularity. 7 Open to other systems: SLIO can be fully integrated with other providers. Open to all languages For example: PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, CANopen and Modbus TCP. The reason for this: SLIO is... DECEMBER 15

8. Whoever speaks many languages has a clear advantage. Suppose a German engineering company supplies its systems equipped with SLIO and for example the VIPA CPU 315, to a global manufacturing company. In Europe his customer needs PROFINET as a communication basis. In the United States the type of control must be an American one, which only speaks EtherNet / IP. And in Asia for example everything runs via EtherCAT. SLIO can easily be used for all of them: Only the coupler is changed. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY : BECAUSE IT GETS ALONG ALL OVER THE WORLD 8 DECEMBER 15

9. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY : FOOLPROOF IN HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE. SLIO is the basis for error-free system control. It is so user friendly that the local technician can even work on it without additionally having to contact the builder or installation engineer of the system Very easy and safe assembly – no tools required. The electronic module is changeable without detaching the wiring. 9 Diagnoses and channel conditions can be easily seen on the module – due to the universally understandable LED-displays. Already when you set up you can clearly indicate which module does what by means of the practical labeling strips. The clamp terminal assignment is printed under the labeling strips. All modules have a simple, space-saving, staircase-shaped wiring level. DECEMBER 15

10. SLIO MAKES EVERYTHING SO EASY : EVEN ORDERING. VIPA has greatly simplified the SLIO ordering process. You receive everything that is necessary for operation with one order number. Regardles whether coupler or only modules. All modules can be ordered individually (that is not the case with other providers). The power module is included with the order. SLIO does not need a terminator. (So there is nothing extra that you need to think about when ordering). 10 DECEMBER 15

11. SIMPLY SPECIAL. Every module is a specialist. 11 DECEMBER 15

12. SLIO MODULES: THE RIGHT TOOL FOR EVERY TASK SLIO is a complete system made up out of the most diverse assemblies. At the moment there are over 120 different SLIO articles, for example: Analog and digital inputs and outputs, Communication processor modules, Coupler modules, Potential distributer modules, Power modules, Temperature modules. And VIPA continuously develops new, extraordinary assemblies. 12 DECEMBER 15

13. SPECIALISTS IN THEIR FIELDS Microsecond accurate measurement and detection of moving objects (speed and aquisition period). That is, it prevents all time accuracy errors, which are caused by the fieldbus and CPU cycle. This innovation is unique for a decentralized system. 13 These special function modules are designed specifically for counting. And in this task they can hardly be beaten. They support fast counting tasks up to 1 MHz. The counting direction is invertible as well. ETS (Edge Timestamp System) Counter modules Specially designed to process the data of an encoder with SSI interface. This allows for extremely precise work. SSI modules DECEMBER 15

14. FEATURES AND DATA All you need to know about SLIO at a glance. 14 DECEMBER 15

15. FEATURES The power modules do their work perfectly: They separate the potential groups. If necessary, they provide for a refresh of the power supply. But these general features are also of interest to you: The interface modules come including replaceable power module. 15 Locking hook Bus terminal General isolation from electronic and installation level.* Optimal placement of the interfaces for space saving connections.** Galvanic isolation between fieldbus and backplane bus. DIP-switches for address configuration with transparent cover. Electrical isolation between fieldbus and input/output level. * ** Electronic module A SLIO Power Module DECEMBER 15

16. TECHNICAL DATA Max. 10 amp. current carrying capacity per terminal (terminal module) 24 V DC power supply for sensors and actuators and for electronics modules Load capacity up to 10 amp. total current Very fast data transfer on the backplane bus of 48 Mbit/s Very fast response time of up to 20 µs High modularity with 2, 4 and 8-channel modules Up to 3 amp. power supply for signal and function modules 16 The backplane bus transfers data not only faster, better and safer, but also takes care of the power supply.

17. SLIO in practice. 17 DECEMBER 15

18. CONSTRUCTED FOR „YOU OUT THERE“. Before we developed SLIO we asked our customers what, in their opinion, an I/O systen must be able to do. It should be compact, modular and easy to maintain. Best EMC: This means SLIO works error-free in the given electromagnetic environment. Without being influenced by the environment. And without greatly affecting the environment. The result was the most innovative I/O system of its time. The consequence: Once people have changed to SLIO, they stay with it. 18 DECEMBER 15

19. CONSTRUCTED FOR „YOU OUT THERE“. SLIO is and will remain there for you. Durable: Recently VIPA once again significantly increased the quality of their suppliers. Future-proof: SLIO will be permanently on the market, because the technology is 100% in the hands of VIPA. And: SLIO is extremely affordable, expandable and modifiable. Is innovative, remains innovative. VIPA permanently perfects the SLIO product portfolio. In the future there will also be again and again new, innovative modules that allow the SLIO system to be ahead of its time. Thus a unique SLIO CPU is already in development. 19 TODAY AND IN FUTURE. DECEMBER 15

20. SLIO IS SO VERSATILE, THAT IN MANY CASES YOU CAN EVEN SAVE A PLC. 20 Industrial Ethernet Modbus-TCP Teleservice Example : Data is collected via SLIO and sent via the Teleservice module by email or SMS. SLIO There are many tasks that can be solved with SLIO and a panel or a Teleservice module. Or of course this way: On the engineering level a PLC is communicated with as head end, which is connected to SLIO. SLIOPLC Example: Aquisition of temperatures, pressures, speeds or similar data, which is processed in the PLC and then relayed to a control system. DECEMBER 15

22. CONCLUSION Controlling a system can be so easy. 22 DECEMBER 15

23. Extremely good at languages! SLIO understands them all, from PROFIBUS and PROFINET, via EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, up to Modbus TCP, CANopen and DeviceNet. And so SLIO is usable all over the world. Extremely fast! Due to the data transmission of 48 MBit/s on the backplane bus. Extremely robust! On account of its high quality and the exceptional electromagnetic compatibility. And above all: extremely easy! No I/O system makes the work easier for you and your co-workers and reduces to such an extent the time it takes and the sources of error. What do you think? Do you have a use for these extremes? 23 SLIO IS INDEED SOMETHING SPECIAL. DECEMBER 15
