OMRON's SmartSlice I/O system is compact, intelligent and easy. When used with OMRON's CS1/CJ1 DeviceNet or CompoNet master units, no configuration tool is required. By using built-in functions such as pre-scaling, totalising, differentiation and alarming in analog I/O units, PLC programming can be minimised. Preventive maintenance data collected by all I/O units can be accessed using CX-Integrator or NS-series Smart Active Parts.
