Our FLEX 5000® I/O modules are a rugged and flexible distributed I/O solution, which allows you to choose your I/O to meet your operational needs. FLEX 5000 I/O enhances communication with 1 Gb EtherNet/IP™ connectivity, which offers higher speed and increased bandwidth. To provide flexibility in your network architecture, these modules include 2 copper or 2 fiber ports (SFP) and support for DLR, Star, Linear, and PRP topologies.
What’s New?
Support high availability safety needs
FLEX 5000 EtherNet/IP adapters are enhanced with concurrent communications support. Through concurrent communications, different safety controllers can maintain separate network paths to the same safety I/O module, enabling flexibility and seamless failover. This latest capability supports the new Logix SIS solution with GuardLogix® 5580 controllers, providing a high availability safety solution up to SIL 3 for process applications.
