Special Modules

Special Modules are high-value intelligent components engineered for cutting-edge Industrial Automation scenarios where standard I/O or communication products fall short. As a key part of our ODOT (Optimized for Deterministic OT) portfolio, these ODOT Remote Modules combine industrial-grade reliability and real-time connectivity with highly integrated specialized functions—such as high-speed pulse counting, encoder interfaces, precision temperature acquisition, load cell signal conditioning, safety I/O (SIL2/PLd), RFID reading/writing, GPS positioning, and even edge AI inference—to deliver truly Innovative Solutions beyond conventional automation. Whether it’s nanosecond-synchronized motion feedback in semiconductor manufacturing, ultra-wide-temperature (-40°C to +85°C) stable data logging in cold-chain logistics, intrinsically safe explosion-proof Remote Monitoring in mining, or microsecond-level fault recording in smart grids, our Special Modules provide tailored hardware platforms backed by comprehensive software support. They integrate seamlessly into existing Control Systems via mainstream protocols like PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and CANopen, while ensuring Reliable Connectivity through 3000V electrical isolation, IP67/IP69K ingress protection, -40°C to +75°C operating range, and certifications including IEC 61000 (EMC), IEC 60068 (environmental), and industry-specific standards (e.g., ATEX, UL, CE)—guaranteeing data integrity even in extreme vibration, humidity, salt spray, or EMI conditions. Critically, these modules empower advanced Remote Monitoring: built-in web servers, SNMP agents, MQTT clients, or OPC UA publishers enable direct streaming of critical operational data—equipment status, energy consumption, location, safety events—to SCADA, MES, or cloud platforms without PLC polling. Select models feature edge computing for local alarm triggering, trend analysis, or protocol translation, reducing network load and accelerating response. As ODOT Remote Modules, they ensure deterministic performance via IEEE 1588 PTP timestamping, low-jitter transmission, and bandwidth reservation—prioritizing control traffic in mixed IT/OT networks. Our engineering ecosystem offers full support: TIA Portal/CODESYS libraries, GSDML/ESI files, register maps, APIs, sample code, and remote firmware updates to accelerate time-to-market. Typical applications span AGV localization in smart logistics, hygienic wash-down monitoring in food & beverage, PV inverter health tracking in renewable energy, redundant train-to-ground communication in rail transit, and multi-parameter wireless soil sensing in smart agriculture. Choosing our Special Modules means bridging innovation with productivity—they’re not just hardware extensions, but strategic enablers of intelligent, digital, and sustainable transformation. In the Industry 4.0 era, competitive advantage lies in mastering details and deeply understanding use cases. Our Special Modules—grounded in Reliable Connectivity, driven by Innovative Solutions, and empowered by Remote Monitoring—help global customers build automation systems that are sharper, more autonomous, and more sustainable.
