N-IO (Network I/O) is a key technology for Agile
Project Execution. It simplifies the whole process of wiring field devices and supports flexible binding.
Several industrial automaton vendors have
developed smart, configurable I/O technology
capable of supporting multiple signal types on a per-
channel basis, and this development is arguably the
most critical for the parallel execution of
process/mechanical and automation system design.
It can support multiple signal types on a per-channel
basis, and this development is arguably the most
critical for parallel execution of process/mechanical
and automation system design (Fig. 3).
Increase in I/O count over the project duration can
be accommodated with a standard cabinet
mounted with N-IO, which can then be assigned
after termination earlier or later in the project.

N-IO: Smart, Configurable
Fig. 3. Configurable N-IO cabinets are a key element of new project management techniques.
So when changes comes late in the project, such as
the shift from a point level sensor to a level transmitter,
as mentioned previously, it is a simple matter to
reconfigure the connection point in the cabinet.
