P31 Series Profinet Distributed IO Module Product Introduction
The P31-U series Profinet distributed remote IO modules are Profinet protocol-compliant remote IO host modules designed for industrial IoT applications. These modules efficiently map IO data to the Profinet network, enabling real-time data transmission and control. By integrating with GSD files, PLCs can read/write IO ports without code, significantly simplifying system configuration and maintenance. The P31 series supports multiple Siemens PLC models and seamlessly interfaces with TIA Portal/STEP 7 software for easy configuration.
