Multi-Bus Compatible, Lightweight & Highly Expandable | MT Launches New MB6 Series Slice Bus I/O Modules
To accommodate distributed bus control scenarios in industrial automation and resolve pain points including cumbersome on-site installation, limited expandability and insufficient communication precision, MT officially releases the MB6 Series slice bus I/O modules. Featuring modular design, lightweight form factor, wide compatibility and outstanding stability, the series delivers efficient standard I/O expansion solutions for all kinds of industrial control systems.
The MB6 system consists of coupler modules, I/O function modules, repeater power modules, common terminal modules and end caps. Its flexible modular assembly allows free configuration according to actual working conditions to fit diverse bus application scenarios.
Core Product Advantages
1. Ultra-Thin Slice Design for Maximum Space Savings
Adopting a slice-type structure, the module body is only 15 mm thick. Its slim profile drastically cuts occupied space inside electrical control cabinets.
2. Diverse Module Types for Broad Application Coverage
A full lineup of I/O function modules is available, including digital, relay, analog, pulse output, encoder, temperature and communication modules with multiple points. Users can assemble combinations on demand to satisfy varied on-site control requirements.
3. Efficient Installation & Maintenance with Large-Scale Expansion Support
Clip-on DIN rail design enables quick assembly, disassembly and easy maintenance. Screwless terminal blocks significantly accelerate wiring and installation work. One coupler supports cascading up to 32 I/O modules, meeting high-point expansion demands for machinery.
4. High-Speed Bus Transmission for High-Precision Synchronization
Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex transmission with a minimum communication cycle of 125 μs. Equipped with high-precision distributed clock technology, the device synchronization jitter is controlled within 1 μs to realize high-speed, accurate coordinated motion control.
5. Multi-Protocol Compatibility with Mainstream Industrial Control Systems
Fully compatible with major industrial bus protocols: EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link, CC-Link IE Field Basic and Modbus TCP. It achieves seamless connection with various industrial equipment and control platforms.
6. Industrial-Grade Protection for Stable & Reliable Operation
Couplers and repeater power modules feature reverse power connection protection. Transistor digital outputs and voltage/current analog outputs come with built-in short-circuit protection, effectively preventing failures caused by incorrect wiring or abnormal loads and ensuring consistent equipment operation.
With lightweight construction, flexible modular expansion, multi-bus compatibility, high-speed high-precision communication and industrial-grade protection, the MB6 slice bus I/O modules serve all distributed automation control I/O expansion applications. Moving forward, MT will keep enriching its industrial control product portfolio and support the automation upgrade of manufacturing industries with stable, reliable auxiliary products.
