These FLEX 5000™ I/O modules are a rugged and flexible distributed I/O solution, which allows you to choose your I/O to meet your operational needs. FLEX 5000 I/O enhances communication with 1 Gb EtherNet/IP™ connectivity, which offers higher speed and increased bandwidth. To provide flexibility in your network architecture, these modules includes 2 copper or 2 fiber ports (SFP) and support for DLR, Star, Linear, and PRP topologies. 

What's New?

Meet fail-safe requirements with the new FLEX 5000 analog safety I/O modules

Gain greater productivity and increased protection in a wider range of applications with our FLEX 5000 portfolio of discrete and analog fail-safe I/O modules. The new analog safety additions help meet more fail-safe requirements and minimize related downtime risks, where speed/frequency measurement, temperature sensors, pressure and flow sensor monitoring are required for functional safety protection. 

• Offers integrated safety with systematic capability up to SC 3 (SIL 2 and SIL 3), TÜV certified up to SIL 3, PLe, Cat. 4, with up to 10 ms safety reaction time
• Minimize downtime through easy access to additional process diagnostics via highly integrated HART in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application 
• Reduce system costs and complexity by mounting standard and safety I/O modules In the same I/O bank 
• Ideal for hybrid and Process applications such as emergency shutdown, burner management, turbine control, compressor control, oil and gas auxiliary boilers, high-pressure protection, lighting and ventilation management
