Fusion.IO Slot Cards
Fusion.IO is a real-time I/O control platform certified as a SIL3 functional safety device. Fusion.IO functions as a safety interlock controller when configured using DDI’s Interlock Builder™ software utility. I/O expansion is available by Remote I/O Modules or RIMs, enabling up to 1920 mixed I/O points under control through a single EtherCAT node address.
