Advantech Supports Fieldbus Couplers
— APAX-507x Series

The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech now provide a complete range of APAX products, the new APAX-5071 PROFINET Coupler, APAX-5070 Modbus Coupler and APAX-5072 Ethernet/IP Coupler. Depending on their application, APAX I/O modules can act as remote stations which can be used in different locations for data acquisition and control tasks.

The APAX-507x series feature an integrated 2-port Ethernet Switch, which supports a flexible topology connection. For example, the I/O nodes can be connected in a line (bus) topology, instead of a traditional star topology, therefore reducing the effort required for wiring and saving installation costs.
