Was ist das Eingangs- und Ausgangsmodul? Ist es ein Steuermodul?

Is the input/output module a control module?

Input and output modules (I/O Modules) and control modules (Control Modules) are commonly used equipment in industrial automation, but they are not completely equivalent.

I/O modules are mainly used for data collection and control, usually including analog input, switch output and other functions, and can be used to realize data collection and control of field equipment. The control module pays more attention to the performance and functions of the controller, usually including digital input, output, timer, counter and other functions, which can be used to control and schedule field equipment.

Simply put, the I/O module is mainly responsible for data collection and control, while the control module pays more attention to the performance and functions of the controller. However, in some application scenarios, I/O modules and control modules may cooperate with each other to complete the control and monitoring tasks of field devices.

What type does the input and output module belong to?

Input and output modules are one of the commonly used types of equipment in industrial automation and are usually used to implement data collection and control of field equipment. Specifically, the input and output module is mainly used for analog input, switch output and other functions, and can be used to realize data collection and control of field equipment. Compared with the control module, the input and output module pays more attention to the functions of data collection and control, and usually has the characteristics of high precision, high reliability, and easy maintenance. In industrial automation applications, input and output modules usually form a complete control system together with other equipment such as controllers and actuators to monitor and control field equipment.
