Distributed I/O

Substation-grade

The SMP distributed I/O platforms are robust substation-grade hardware devices that meets IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3 standards for vibration, electrical surges, fast transients and extreme temperature ranges.

Both platforms are designed for growth and flexibility

• The SMP IO-2230 can contain up to 64 I/Os arranged in flexible block configurations (not field-upgradable).
• The SMP I/O input and output cards can be added in minutes, without removing the unit from the rack.

Seamless networking

Both platforms include Ethernet and RS-485 ports. They use the industry-standard DNP3 protocol.

Reduced engineering effort

The SMP distributed I/O platforms save on cabling, commissioning and configuration time, especially when it is used with the SMP Gateway automation platform. Their removable connectors speed up hardware changes.

Scalability

The SMP IO-2230 has an universal power supply with a wide input AC and DC voltage range as well as software configurable voltage ranges on binary inputs.

Cybersecurity

The SMP IO-2230 provides secure remote management capabilities; it has an integrated firewall and can be securely accessed for maintenance from Enterprise Management Software (IMS).  Both SMP distributed IO platforms are accessible for secure remote maintenance via the SMP Gateway automation platform. 

Accurate data

The SMP distributed I/O platform’s error-detection features ensure data integrity between the data point and the control center. They also support IRIG-B synchronization for precise timestamping.

General specifications

The SMP IO-2230 is the latest I/O platform from Eaton and is fully integrated with the SMP Manager’s software and tools and includes many new features that will greatly enhance user experience. It can contain up to 64 I/O and has advanced security features and programmable logic capabilities.

10-year warranty

All Eaton’s distributed I/O platforms are designed to operate without any maintenance for their entire lifetime, when used under normal conditions. The SMP IO-2230, our latest automation I/O platform, now comes with a 10-year limited warranty, the terms of which are described in the 10-year warranty on SMP Products document which is available in the Resources section under Selling policy and T&Cs.
