I/O Systems
The Continuum Ethernet-based intelligent building system allows you to mix and match various combinations of DIN rail-mounted moduleshigh density I/O, CPU and power supply, and your choice of several user interface modulesin a single controller location to meet your building's control and monitoring needs. With the Continuum system, as your network grows, simply add or replace I/O modules as needed.
The Continuum I/O modules feature a sleek, lightweight casing designed for natural convection cooling, and a 3-position front cover for easy, hands-free access. Built-in quick-release fasteners at the back of each I/O module are provided for DIN rail mounting - no tools required. These fasteners also snap into a locked position for panel mounting. Input and output connectors are located at the bottom of each I/O module and are removable for easy field access and maintenance. All Continuum modules are designed for mounting in an optional NEMA 1-style Continuum enclosure.
The Continuum I/O modules communicate with the Continuum NetController CPU module. Like all Continuum modules, the I/O modules snap together directly via built-in connectors on either side so network expansion is quick and easy. Both power transmission and communication signals between the Continuum power supply module, NetController CPU module, and all I/O modules feed through this connection. For added convenience in certain applications, such as door control or lighting control, a single module or groups of I/O modules can be remotely located and connected using approved cable and powered from a local 24 VDC power supply. Each I/O module features its own push-button for quick and easy network commissioning.
