Watanabe Electric Industry Co. Ltd. Product Lineup

Remote I/O is an electronic device used in various fields such as FA, PA, and BA, which transfers input and output to measurement and control devices like PLCs and computers using communication. By transmitting multiple I/O data over communication lines, it contributes to the construction of systems that reduce wiring and costs. Communication is conducted over a standardized open network called fieldbus, and the "WMB series" is a remote I/O compatible with Modbus RTU.

In power plant monitoring, it is essential to accurately and quickly grasp the operational status of widely distributed equipment. In particular, the ability to efficiently collect input and output data from numerous sensors and devices and transmit it to a central control system is crucial. Delays or losses in data can hinder the detection of equipment anomalies and prompt responses. Our Modbus RTU-compatible I/O modules contribute to solving these challenges by aggregating multiple I/O data over communication lines, supporting system construction with reduced wiring and costs. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Collection of sensor data (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) from various equipment in the power plant - Monitoring the status of devices such as switches and pumps - Data integration with remote monitoring systems 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Cost reduction and shortened construction period due to reduced wiring work - Efficient aggregation and transmission of numerous I/O data - Improved flexibility in system construction

In manufacturing production line monitoring, it is essential to efficiently collect and transmit input and output data from numerous devices and sensors. In particular, real-time status understanding and anomaly detection are crucial for maintaining and improving productivity. As wiring becomes more complex, installation and maintenance become more labor-intensive, leading to increased costs. Our "WMB Series" is a remote I/O module compatible with Modbus RTU, supporting the transmission of I/O data via communication, which helps build a system with reduced wiring and costs, contributing to the efficiency of production line monitoring. 【Use Cases】 - Monitoring the operational status of production lines - Collecting sensor data from each process - Early detection of anomalies 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Simplification of wiring work and cost reduction - Shortening of system construction time - Improvement in productivity through efficient data collection
