The Modbus protocol is the typical means of transfer with TCP/IP and commonly used to connect industrial electronics. Simple and robust, it has become the de facto standard communication protocol and is currently used to connect industrial electronics.

The Autonics ARIO-C-MT Modbus TCP-Based Coupler synchronizes the data of all connected I/O modules with Modbus TCP. The coupler determines the physical structure of the node and automatically creates a local process image of all the I/O. It also includes a mixed arrangement of analog (word) and digital (byte) modules.

The process image consists of the input and output data area.

The ARIO series slim remote I/O offers Ethernet/Fieldbus communication I/O with modular expansion up to 64 units in various I/O types. The coupler modules are available in various communication protocols. The push-in connection method offers simple and easy wiring for improved user convenience. The hot-swap feature allows the terminal unit and body (control) unit of the module to be disconnected from the base (communication) unit without stopping power or communication for easy maintenance.
