SmartRail™ I/O
New Modular I/O solution from Horner APG!

Complementing our existing I/O systems (Snap-On, Modbus, CAN) we've added yet another way to handle your Input/Output signals.
SmartRail™ combines the compactness and clean look of Sliced I/O system with the Hi-Speed Ethernet interface and a higher density.
The SmartRail™ Ethernet I/O Base is one of three offerings, along with CsCAN (February 2011) and Profibus DP. This allows it to work great with OCS, or even with third party controllers.
SmartRail™ is:
- Ethernet SmartRail™ is compatible with full Ethernet Systems (XL6, QX, RX, NX, & RCX)
- X-Series ready
- Capable of handling digital, analogue, mixed, RTD & thermocouple signals
- DIN rail mountable
- Easy to expand
- Powered by 24V DC
- Completely configurable from Cscape™ (9.1 or Higher)
System with multiple SmartRail™ bases:

Each base can hold up to 8 I/O modules, for a total of up to 256 digital and 32 analog points. Now just daisy-chain as many additional bases that are needed to complete the application - up to a total of 2048 digital and 512 analog I/O.
SmartRail™ configuration is done directly in Cscape™ (Cscape 9.1 or higher needed) and takes only few minutes!
