Eaton XN300 I/O system

Our ultra-compact, slice-based XN300 I/O system with push-in connectors

and high connection density can be used as a local I/O level for the Eaton

XC300 PLC or, via gateways, as a remote I/O level in CAN and EtherCAT networks.

In combination with our HMI/PLC products, it enables modern automation solutions

for the production of standard machines. Various models and the application-oriented

functions of the I/O modules increase flexibility, reduce equipment costs and enable

customized system solutions while keeping the footprint to a minimum.

The user-friendly installation of the cutting-edge I/O slices simplifies handling

and enables the I/O block and the sensors and actuators to be pre-assembled.

The plug-in connections and the clear signal assignment simplify commissioning

and extend the functionality of the system, enabling it to meet the specific

requirements of the machine-building sector.

Space-saving design:

Up to 20 channels on a surface of 12.5x102mm

Flexible applications:

Local I/O for the XC300 or remote I/O in CAN and EtherCAT networks

Quick and easy installation:

Block pre-assembly with up to 32 modules and plug-in wiring

Core features

• Modular I/O system

• Various I/O functions are available

• Can be used as a local or remote I/O

• Compact design

• Pluggable connection level with push-in technology

• Tool-free installation

• Gateways for CAN and EtherCAT communication

• Marine approvals

Easy and flexible installation

The XN300 modules can be easily installed on DIN rails by means of a locking

hook – no additional tools required. This simplifies installation and enables

the rapid replacement of individual modules. To get the system operational,

all you need to do is to plug the cables into the push-in connector.

High modularity with a small footprint

The possibility of combining different modules as required turns the XN300

into the ideal system solution for a broad range of applications. The basic

product portfolio also includes gateway modules that support all Eaton I/O

system components. Digital modules, which can be used both as input/output

and relay modules, enable multiple application options. Analog input/output and

multi-functional modules, which can perform mixed functions, are also available.

Technology modules, which can, for example, be used for weighing, counting or

to drive motors, further expand the scope of application.
