Overview

Field Control is a family of highly-modular distributed I/O and control products. They

are suitable for use in a wide range of host architectures.

The heart of the Field Control system is the Bus Interface Unit. The Bus Interface Unit

provides intelligent processing, I/O scanning, and feature configuration for a group of up to

eight I/O modules. Together, the Bus Interface Unit and its modules make up a Field Control

station.

The Bus Interface Unit and I/O modules are enclosed in sturdy, compact aluminum

housings. Bus Interface Unit and I/O modules bolt securely to separate Terminal Blocks,

which provide all field wiring terminals. The I/O Terminal blocks are generic and allow

different I/O module types to be mounted on the same base.  I/O Terminal Blocks are

available with box-type terminals, barrier-type terminals, or wire-to-board connectors.

All Terminal Blocks must be mounted on a DIN rail. The DIN rail, which serves as an

integral part of the grounding system, can also be mounted on a panel.
