Flex I/O is a compact, modular I/O system that consists of I/O modules, terminal bases, and an adapter. This family is ideal because it eliminates the need for separate terminal blocks, in addition to the downtime needed to replace modules, because the modules contain no wiring. The terminal bases remain in place. Up to eight Flex I/O modules may be connected to a single ControlNet adapter in any mix of digital or analog, ac or dc I/O.

• Supports I/O change-of-state, cyclic, strobe, poll, and peer-to-peer messaging
• Up to 8 Flex I/O modules may be connected to a single ControlNet adapter
• Interfaces up to 256 digital I/O points or 64 analog channels per adapter to the ControlNet network
• Diagnostic status indicators for network and I/O
• Adapter can provide diagnostics for failed or removed I/O modules
• Individual components allow you to mix and match I/O types, and termination styles
• Network communication available locally via a Network Access Port (NAP)
• Redundant media support (1794-ACNR15 only)
• Adapter firmware is FLASH upgradable over ControlNet for easy access to new features
• Uses ControlNet PLC-5®, Backup System
