AAdvantech Launches a New PROFINET Coupler
- APAX-5071

The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech has launched the new APAX-5071 PROFINET Coupler, to link APAX I/O modules - connected using the PROFINET industrial networking protocol. By being attached to an APAX-5071, APAX I/O modules can act as remote stations which can be used in different locations for data acquisition and control tasks.

The APAX-5071 features 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.
