Schneider Electric – Modicon Edge I/O NTS
The future-proof I/O system that is ready for a data-driven industrial future
Since the introduction of the first Input/Output systems more than half a century ago, the world of industrial automation has undergone a tremendous transformation. With Modicon Edge I/O NTS, Schneider Electric introduces the new generation of distributed I/O solutions that meet the current needs of customers in the field of industrial I/O applications, while preparing them for the digital challenges of tomorrow.
I/O systems play a crucial role in industrial automation solutions
I/O systems play a crucial role in industrial automation solutions. They form the bridge between the control systems and the physical processes in a factory or production line, connecting devices within an automated network, controlling executive components and receiving signals from connected sensors. However, with Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) redefining the boundaries of what is possible in the industrial landscape, I/O systems must also evolve.
Designed with the future in mind - Modicon Edge I/O NTS
Modicon Edge I/O NTS, Schneider Electric's latest IP20 distributed I/O system, is more than just an input/output system. The system is designed to provide industries with the tools they need to succeed in a digital world that is increasingly driven by data. The system's ability to aggregate and securely share data enables smarter decision-making and better operational performance. With Modicon Edge I/O NTS, Schneider Electric is setting a new standard for network products that meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). With open Ethernet protocols for connection to a wide range of devices and architectures, OPC UA technology for secure communication and interoperability, and built-in hardware-level cybersecurity, Modicon Edge I/O NTS helps improve connectivity, performance, availability and network security. The system also complies with applicable cybersecurity regulations. This enables end users to securely access their data and use it optimally, increasing industrial efficiency, flexibility, sustainability and profitability.
Robust, compact, flexible and scalable
Modicon Edge I/O NTS impresses with its robustness in terms of temperature variations, vibrations and electromagnetic radiation, ensuring reliability in industrial environments. The system is built with flexibility in mind and offers a wide range of modules for various industrial applications. Thanks to the wide range of modules and functionalities, the customisable I/O islands and the compact design, more I/O modules and functionality are possible in less space. For example, it is possible to have a single island consisting of one module (only 75 mm wide), while larger systems can have up to 250 modules.
Lower operating costs and higher productivity
With Modicon Edge I/O NTS, customers save time from initial design to commissioning. This is thanks to adaptive tools, simpler design and wiring, and faster start-up of machines and processes for a shorter time-to-market. With its robust construction and features such as hot-swap capabilities and integrated diagnostics, Modicon Edge I/O NTS helps minimise downtime and repair times. This results in lower operating costs and higher productivity. The integrated web server ensures easy commissioning.
Suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries
As an IP20 distributed I/O system, Modicon Edge I/O NTS is designed to meet the current requirements of a wide range of applications with a single I/O series. Machine builders, system integrators and industrial end users can deploy Modicon Edge I/O NTS in various sectors, from machine building to the packaging industry and from food to water/wastewater, critical infrastructure, data centres, transport and energy and chemicals.

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.
-
BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
