Input/Output Modules > User-friendly Design

Hot Swappable, High Density I/O Modules
 
APAX I/O modules can communicate and obtain power through backplanes. APAX I/O modules are hot swappable, allowing them removed from or inserted on the backplane, even when system is powered-on. Operator can replace specific I/O modules without shutting down the whole system. This significantly saves system maintenance costs.
 

Clamp Type Terminal Blocks
 
All APAX I/O modules offer detachable clamp type terminal blocks for I/O wiring. Compared to traditional screw type terminal blocks, clamp type terminal blocks can save installation time (up to 75%), and doesn’t require the connection to be checked or retightened. They also have higher resistance to shock and vibration.
 

Easily Identifiable Modules
 
The front-side ID switch enables operator to change the module ID number. The power LED not only displays module power status, but also performs self diagnostic functionality. All digital modules offer channel status LED. Inserting the terminal block on the wrong module may cause module damaged. Matching the terminal block and front label with the same color can prevent from this.
 

Writable Labels with Wiring Information
 
For all I/O modules, a pluggable label gives operators the ability to write important notes on it, like channel information. The opposite side shows the wiring diagram, so operators can refer to it for wiring. This label provides convenience for maintenance and operation.
