I/O Mirroring
The IOX-M Series platform is designed as both a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint solution for high I/O count systems. The device allows connections of all remote digital and analog input signals from the IOX-R product and converts those signals into output signals to send over a wireless or fiber IP network. The IOX-M series also can I/O mirror up to 26 I/O points from a single location connected to a local Host, PLC or DCS controller at the control center or head end of any system. To reduce field deployment time, the IOX-M series ships preconfigured in 3 different I/O options and ready for install with minimal setup.
For applications that require I/O signal mirroring or splitting from different locations, the IOX-M series can provide the point-to-multipoint I/O mirroring connectivity to collect I/O signals from remote locations and then aggregate them to a single location. The IOX-M series can be custom configured for any I/O combination from any number of remote sites.

NETio interfaces I/O from sensors and devices using multiple industrial protocols including Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and DNP3. This allows a SCADA system or host controller to communicate directly with NETio using IP/Ethernet or serial protocols when PLCs and RTUs are not necessary. NETio allows serial communication using DNP3 or Modbus RTU without the need for an access point for simple point-to-multipoint applications between remotes or over WeXP.
I/O Extension
Using I/O extension, NETio regenerates analog and digital signals between multiple field devices and controllers resulting in significant savings on wiring and termination costs. NETio supports cost-effective remote to remote communication for small point-to-point or point-to-multipoint requirements that do not require an access point.
MDS Remote
NETio is available in the 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency bands for IP/Ethernet and serial communication. Each NETio has built-in connections for one analog input, one analog output, two digital inputs and two digital outputs. Each NETio can be configured for multiple operating modes including I/O extension for regenerating I/O signals between devices, protocol addressability for interfacing I/O using industry-standard protocols (e.g., Modbus-TCP), and SCADA communications to remote RTUs and PLCs using IP/Ethernet and a NETio Access Point.
MDS Remote
Expansion Modules expand the number of I/O points to meet your requirements. Expansion Modules can be connected directly to the NETio via a fully integrated power/communication backplane connector or they can be located up to 3,000 feet away and wirelessly connect to NETio over WeXP. Expansion Modules are available in 6 different configurations and deliver connectivity for up to 128 I/O signals at any one location.

The iNET-II radio operates in the 900 MHz frequency band under the FCC rules for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) equipment. Every system must have at least one access point service. You can choose between remote models that support serial only, Ethernet only or both types of interfaces (4 dual gateway).
The iNET-II handles concurrent Ethernet from multiple sources, directly addresses the integrated serial device server using industry-standard protocols (e.g., Telnet, TCP, UDP), and serves as backhaul to MDS TransNET, SD, 4710 and 9710 radios.
Every iNET-II radio includes an SNMP agent and can be managed by MDS NETview or any other SNMP-based management system.
An access point radio can be configured to operate as a remote, serving as a common replacement for remote locations, thereby simplifying maintenance tasks in the field.
