MDS I/O Solutions
Expanding the Possibilities for Data Acquisition
GE's MDS I/O Solutions offers field configurable I/O options with seamless interfacing to instrumentation, sensors, and I/O signals at any remote location. Simplicity and flexibility were at the forefront of this solution. Designed to integrate with the MDS Orbit platform for secure, reliable, wireless communications across LTE, licensed, unlicensed, or Wi-Fi.
The MDS I/O portfolio is comprised of multiple solutions, targeting all aspects of I/O applications. The IOX-R provides the user with up to 16 DI/DO, 8 AI and 2 AO to meet their specific needs using Modbus. Combine this option with the IOX-T, and the IO signals can be converted to other protocols such as DNP3, SNMP and OPC-UA. If upgrading from a legacy MDS NETio installation, the IOX-N solution at the head-end and the IOX-R at the remote end can provide a point to point or point to multipoint solution. Finally, the IOX-M Series provides the missing gap for I/O signal mirroring applications and can be custom configured to meet the needs of any location.
All these options from MDS I/O Solutions can be customized to each customer depending on their application. These flexible solutions can be installed into existing racks or designed in a brand new enclosure. The team at MDS is ready to answer all your I/O application needs.

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.

MDS IOx Mirroring System Example
NETio Migration
MDS I/O Solutions presents a clear migration for legacy MDS NETio installations. MDS I/O Solutions takes NETio Expansion Modules Types 1-7 and converges them into one solution. These signals can be sent over wireless or fiber communications to the IOX-N module at a local host, PLC or DCS controller. On the edge, the I/O module (IOX-R) offers Modbus TCP to be used for your digital and analog I/O connections.
