Schneider Electric introduces Foxboro Compact 200 Series I/O

The new modules are suitable for new implementations in confined spaces, such as offshore platforms, and for adding capacity to existing installations without incurring the trouble and cost of facility expansion.

Higher-density baseplates and optional cabinets contribute further to footprint reduction, which also drives significant savings in weight, energy consumption and inventory over traditional I/O offerings.

The Compact 200 Series I/O modules are compatible with multiple generations of Foxboro controllers, software and infrastructure, and they provide the ability to mix and match I/O types on the same controller.

They are the latest addition to the Foxboro Evo system’s flexible I/O sub-system family, which includes its 100-percent software-configurable Foxboro Intelligent Marshalling universal I/O solution; competitive migration plug-and-play modules; and intrinsically safe I/O options.

Also new from Schneider Electric is its latest range of tower lights, Harmony XVU. The new line offers customers a clean design with colour-coded display and sound signalling. The tower lights offer high quality, true colour, bright LED light modules that enable users to create a configuration best suited to their requirements.

They include one to five illuminated units which are available in red, amber, green, blue, and white, or one to four illuminated units plus a sound unit (buzzer or voice).
Additionally, the range includes a special multi-colour LED module with a choice of six colours and four light patterns (steady, blinking, flashing, or rotating) which are easily configurable by two dip switches housed within the unit.
