Festo: Remote I/O – The Key to Smarter Automation
When engineers think about machine performance, the conversation often starts with the controller, drives, motors, and field devices. But there is another part of the architecture worth looking at: how signals travel between those devices and the control system. That decision can influence more than wiring. It can affect installation effort, machine layout, future modifications, and the way equipment is maintained over time. This is where Remote I/O becomes an important part of the conversation.
