I/O Units

I/O Units
I/O units (input/output units) are used to modularly expand the control system. They increase the number of inputs and outputs and offer special functions for your machine or subsystem. By using CAN bus, cable routing in mobile working machines is simplified and minimized. The I/O units can be placed near the actuators and sensors they are intended to control, where the position can be determined via specific hardware codes, and each unit's configuration can be adjusted via software. Various modules facilitate the management and control of mobile working machines and equipment with varying complexity and needs. Whether centralized or decentralized control systems, a wide range of machine functions must be managed and distributed. The machine network must meet many requirements. The I/O units in Dasa's product portfolio are designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, modularity, and long lifespan.

I/O Units for Forestry - Robust and Flexible

Dasa's I/O units for bucking systems are developed to meet the high demands of robustness and flexibility in professional harvesters. The I/O modules, designed for installation in the harvester head, are built to withstand extreme environmental conditions such as heat, cold, moisture, and heavy impacts. The harvester-head-mounted unit connects sensors and valve actuators in a compact and durable format, while the cab-mounted unit integrates the bucking system with the carrier machine, along with power distribution and joystick control. The I/O modules, designed for installation in the harvester head, are constructed to endure extreme environmental conditions, including heat, cold, moisture, and heavy impacts.

I/O Units for Mobile Machines

Compact and robust logic expansion modules that can be added to your control system when you need functional development. The I/O modules can be placed where there are many inputs and outputs to avoid unnecessary cable routing. The I/O units in Dasa's portfolio for machine control systems are compact and robust expansion modules that can be added when functional development is needed. Our portfolio includes I/O units developed and manufactured by Dasa, as well as units from our partner STW. They offer diagnostic functions, protection against short circuits and overvoltage, as well as support for PWM valve control and automatic connection identification. All configuration is done via software, and there are modules that support functional safety (SIL2/PLd) as well as secure CANopen connections.
