Distributed I/Os
Locating distributed I/O within each MCC (preferably within each shipping split) reduces installation and commissioning time for a lower installed cost. Construction is common across applications and provides clear segregation between automation and motor control. This segregation can be important where division of responsibilities, existing spares, and training are overriding issues.
Processors can be added to most distributed I/O systems to provide local control capabilities. Integration into PLC-based control schemes is straightforward and distributed I/O is available for all popular networks.
Intelligent devices
Intelligent devices embedded in the MCC not only provide network communications, but extensive functionality not available on standard devices, such as network configuration, diagnostics, extensive process information, and advanced protection for each unit.
Significant technical expertise is required, but the systems have excellent life-cycle benefits in process applications where the additional information, diagnostics, and protective features easily justify the incremental cost of the equipment.
