In its place, now available is a newer input \/ output technology, the OCS-I\/O. Unlike conventional I\/O for \u003ca title=\"PLC Automation Controllers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psctexas.shop\/collections\/automation-controllers-hmi-plc\"\u003ePLCs\u003c\/a\u003e, SmartStack I\/O is not a rack-mount design. SmartStackI\/O modules snap onto the automation controller or to an off-mount base. They also stack onto each other. The SmartStack utilizes a very small amount of panel space for the number of I\/O available. These I\/O modules have plastic or metal housings, which meets stringent noise, vibration, and shock standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA maximum of 4 modules can stack directly onto many OCS. Additionally, another 20 modules can connect by using the fiber optic FOX I\/O System. Several OCS models can also have 20 or more SmartStack modules using the FOX I\/O System. There are over 50 SmartStack input \/ output modules available. They include a variety of mix input \/ output modules, offering a combination of inputs and outputs, digital and analog, and specialty modules: High-Speed Counter (1 MHz), Stepper Indexer, ASCII BASIC, and AC Power Monitoring modules. You can select from a full complement of temperature input modules (Thermocouple, RTD, Thermistor), as well as SmartStack communication options include Ethernet TCP\/IP, DeviceNet Commander and Responder (Master and Slave), \u003ca title=\"PROFIBUS Protocol\" href=\"https:\/\/www.profibus.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePROFIBUS\u003c\/a\u003e Commander and Responder and \u003ca title=\"CANopen Protocol\" href=\"https:\/\/www.can-cia.org\/canopen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCANopen\u003c\/a\u003e Commander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eI\/O Expansion for Automation Controllers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have several ways to expand the number of SmartStack modules. Connecting a miniRCS via the CsCAN port adds one more SmartStack module. Networking an RCS (Remote Control Station) controller allows you to add up to 4 more SmartStack modules. If you use a FOX100 input \/ output Fiber Optic Expansion Module and the FOX input \/ output System, you can have up to 23 SmartStack modules. This would contain 3 modules and the FOX100 on the OCS, plus 20 modules with the FOX input \/ output System. When using NX and Color-Touchscreen OCS models, you may connect 5 bases and up to 20 SmartStack modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwitch to Horner OCS-I\/O\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Horner OCS-I\/O\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psctexas.shop\/products\/ocs-io-remote-input-output\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-left: 25px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1955\/0595\/files\/Horner-OCS-IO-Base-Input-Output-Expandable-IO-HMI-PLC.png?v=1765478885\" alt=\"Horner-OCS-I-O-Remote-Input-Output-for-Automation-Control\" width=\"375\" height=\"375\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.psctexas.shop\/products\/ocs-io-remote-input-output\" title=\"Horner OCS-I\/O Remote Input \/ Output\"\u003eHorner OCS-I\/O\u003c\/a\u003e is a flexible, highly expandable Input\/Output system that can be applied as a local expansion I\/O or as remote I\/O distributed over hundreds of meters. With expandability up to 7 modules per base as well as 16 bases per network, OCS-I\/O can handle almost every Input \/ Output need.
