Phoenix Contact – Axioline, Inline Series

Features:

Wide range of remote I/O systems for control cabinet and field installation
✅ Easy integration into control systems with description files
✅ Wide range of functions and various designs enable flexible use
✅ Reliability even under the most adverse conditions ensures increased system availability
✅ Greater flexibility and wider range of functions with IO-Link communication

The Axioline Smart Elements are plug-in I/O modules that don’t require a system and don’t communicate over a bus. Only the I/O function is supported by the individual element. Only in conjunction with a backplane, which works similarly to an adaptor, is bus communication for the pertinent I/O system made possible. As a result, the Axioline Smart Elements are versatile and ubiquitous.

 

Description

The Axioline F and Axioline E (Smart Elements) I/O systems by Phoenix Contact offer modular and compact digital, analog, and special-function I/O modules ideal for both control-cabinet (IP20) and field (IP65/IP67/IP69K) installations. These systems streamline signal acquisition and control, delivering high reliability and flexibility in harsh industrial environments.
All common bus systems and networks can use Phoenix Contact’s remote I/O systems, which include IP20 and IP65/IP67 protection levels. Get input and output signals straight from your machines and systems or from the control cabinet. Reliable transmission of your data and signal traffic is guaranteed, with optimization for specific application regions. For this, use products with a variety of mechanical characteristics and uses.
