ADI helps new infrastructure丨New configurable I/O devices are released, targeting smart buildings and smart factories
The concept of "new infrastructure" was written into the government work report of the just concluded two sessions for the first time, and the goal of strengthening the construction of new infrastructure is to stimulate new consumer demand and help industrial upgrading. At a time when the "new infrastructure" boom is rising, ADI recently announced the launch of the industry's first software-configurable input/output (I/O) product series for building control and process automation, which can help manufacturers and industrial operators improve the flexibility of control systems while reducing product complexity, which will accelerate the upgrading of the industrial manufacturing industry.
Traditional control systems use a complex set of channel modules , analog and digital signal converters, and individually wired inputs/outputs to communicate with machines, instruments, and sensors on the operating surface, requiring costly and labor-intensive manual configuration. ADI's new AD74412R and AD74413R feature reconfigurable module channels, making it quick and easy to design flexible control systems remotely without requiring large-scale rewiring. This greatly improves the speed and flexibility of implementation for manufacturers and industrial operators, and enables them to make changes without significantly increasing costs and downtime.
As consumer behaviors and demands change with the advent of Industry 4.0, manufacturers need more flexible systems that can quickly and easily adapt to changing requirements. To do this, manufacturers can no longer rely on fixed, large-scale systems designed for mass-market products and predictable demand. Instead, they need flexible systems that can be quickly reconfigured with minimal downtime and capital investment. With ADI's software-configurable I/O, manufacturers can implement new projects more efficiently and achieve more flexible automation control, thereby reducing design and installation costs and commissioning delays.
