Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX AND MOLXA), announces new BradControl IP67 discrete I/O modules for Ethernet Modbus TCP (UDP). The BradControl I/O modules support a wide range of network protocols including Ethernet Modbus TCP to provide reliable solutions for connecting industrial controllers communicating on industrial networks to I/O devices. The BradControl Classic 60mm wide I/O modules for Modbus TCP (UDP) come in an 8-port 16 channel format with the availability of I/O configurations supporting both PNP and NPN input devices. The I/O module operates as a slave device in the Ethernet control system, gathering signals and data from local field devices. Each I/O module comes equipped with diagnostic LEDs providing status information on network, power, inputs and outputs. The BradControl Modbus TCP module features a built-in 2-port switch for network connections, and a four digit display for addressing and status information. To facilitate input and output device wiring modules accept standard threaded M12 connectors or the Ultra-Lock connection system which provides fast, simple and secure connections between the I/O module and the I/O devices. Performance and reliability are designed right into the connector. The unique radial seal design provides a reliable, operator independent seal each and every time, eliminating the risk of under- or overtightening. BradControl discrete I/O modules are ideally suited for use with material handling equipment and automated assembly machinery. They can be machine mounted and are rated for IP67 harsh environments.
