Remote I/O
High-speed remote I/O modules for the flexible, compact and reliable expansion of industrial automation systems.
The MET2 series by MOONS’ includes high-speed remote I/O modules designed for signal acquisition and control in advanced industrial automation systems. Thanks to their ultra-slim structure, high-speed backplane bus, modular configuration and compatibility with major industrial networks, MET2 modules make it possible to build distributed, compact and easily scalable I/O architectures.
Designed for smart manufacturing applications, MET2 modules allow digital, analog, temperature and other field signals to be connected, simplifying integration with PLCs, motion controllers, EtherCAT systems and distributed machine architectures.
Compact and flexible I/O expansion for distributed automation systems
MET2 modules are designed to quickly and reliably extend signal acquisition and control capabilities within industrial automation systems. The platform allows I/O to be distributed close to field devices, reducing wiring complexity and improving machine architecture flexibility.
The combination of modular design, compact dimensions, fast response times and a wide range of available modules makes the MET2 series suitable for automatic machines, production lines, multi-axis systems and applications requiring fast acquisition times, signal stability and integration with standard industrial networks.
Modular configuration for high-speed remote I/O systems
The MET2 High-Speed Remote I/O series makes it possible to build flexible and scalable I/O architectures by combining digital, analog, temperature, communication, encoder and high-speed input modules according to application requirements. With support for up to 32 expansion modules, the platform allows the system to be adapted to the required machine signals, optimizing space inside the electrical cabinet and simplifying integration with PLCs, motion controllers and industrial networks.
Stable and reliable design for industrial environments
The MET2 High-Speed Remote I/O series is designed to ensure secure connections, reduced space requirements and operational continuity even in complex industrial applications. Every construction detail is conceived to simplify installation, maintenance and product identification, helping to improve the overall reliability of the I/O system.
- Gold-plated connectors for longer service life
The connectors feature a gold-plated treatment that improves resistance to contact corrosion, helping to preserve the quality of the electrical connection and extend the product’s service life. - Space-saving slim design
The slim format of the I/O modules allows installation even in compact electrical cabinets, optimizing the available space and enabling high-density modular configurations. - Stable and secure connections
The D-BUS design with double-sided spring connectors ensures stable coupling between modules, improving connection reliability compared with traditional solutions and helping to reduce the risk of malfunctions. - Technical information always accessible
The wiring diagram printed directly on the module and the integrated QR code simplify installation, inspection and maintenance activities, providing quick access to the product’s technical information.
Modular installation and tool-free wiring
The MET2 High-Speed Remote I/O series is designed to simplify mounting, wiring and maintenance operations inside the electrical cabinet. Push-in terminals allow fast cable connection without the use of tools, reducing installation time and limiting the risk of wiring errors.
The design also allows vertical insertion and removal of the modules, making installation easier even in compact or high-density configurations. Removable terminal blocks speed up maintenance and replacement operations, allowing connections to be handled in a simple, orderly and safe way.
Why choose MET2
1. High-speed performance
MET2 modules use a 100M high-speed backplane bus, designed to ensure fast communication between the coupler and expansion modules. Microsecond-level response enables the series to be used in applications where machine signals must be acquired and managed quickly and reliably.
2. Compact and space-saving structure
With an extremely narrow width, MET2 modules are designed for installation in compact electrical cabinets and high-density configurations. The slim design optimizes the available cabinet space while maintaining an orderly and easily expandable modular structure.
3. Simple installation and fast maintenance
The MET2 series uses push-in and removable terminal blocks, designed to simplify wiring and speed up installation and maintenance operations. The vertical insertion design makes it easier to replace and manage modules inside the cabinet.
4. Flexible integration with industrial networks
MET2 modules are designed for integration with major industrial networks and can be used in EtherCAT architectures and, in the future, with other networks such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. This allows the I/O system to be connected to PLCs, motion controllers and machine controllers while maintaining an open and scalable structure.
