Making industrial control smarter - plug-in distributed I/O

In the current acceleration of intelligent manufacturing transformation, in traditional industrial automation production, equipment control and monitoring usually adopt centralized control methods. However, traditional centralized control faces pain points such as signal delay, complex wiring, and poor scalability, while the Kronz distributed I/O (two-stage) KB series systematically reconstructs the performance standards of industrial control with three core advantages.

1.High speed real-time response: using industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, CC-LINK IE, etc., data transmission far exceeds the response speed of traditional buses.

2. Modular expansion: ultra-thin design, saving installation space; Two section design, no need to rewire when replacing modules, with spring type pluggable terminals for easy maintenance. Digital, analog, temperature, high-speed counting, communication and other functional modules can be flexibly configured as needed. A single coupler can expand up to 32 modules to meet different needs.

3. Distributed nearby deployment: Distribute control nodes to the device site, shorten signal transmission distance, combine anti-interference design, improve data stability, and reduce failure rate.

Distributed I/O application in the new energy industry:

Intelligent manufacturing of lithium batteries

Polar coating process: Real time acquisition of scraper pressure and slurry flow signals through a 16 bit analog module, combined with EtherCAT synchronous control, achieves precision control of coating thickness and rapidly improves yield.

PACK line integration: Distributed deployment of DI/DO modules to collect photoelectric switch and cylinder positioning signals, control welding robot fixture movements, achieve millisecond level response with 300+I/O points on a single production line, replacing traditional centralized solutions and reducing wiring costs.

Photovoltaic module manufacturing

Component laminating process: The temperature module monitors the signals of each temperature zone of the laminating machine in real time, feeds back to the PLC through the bus, dynamically adjusts the heating and pressure, and improves the product qualification rate.

Kronz's ‌Two-Stage Plug-in I/O system is based on the core concept of "high speed, precision, and flexibility", providing solutions from the equipment layer to the system layer for the new energy industry. To accelerate the evolution of industrial automation towards "smarter, more efficient, and greener" direction, choosing this technology is to choose the competitiveness of intelligent manufacturing in the next decade.
