This white paper explores the use of intelligent remote I/O in industrial automation systems. Employing a distributed architecture, rather than centralized control, offers three advantages: minimizing single points of failure, spreading the load, and maximizing scalability.

The paper details applications that could be made more efficient by using built-in functions offered by intelligent remote I/O. It also gives a specific example of how distributed intelligence could be used in a PLC system.

Specifying and acquiring a network storage device that is adequate for a robust virtualization infrastructure in a manufacturing facility is neither easy nor cheap. While there are plenty of vendors and independent providers who are willing to help with the specification process, I always find it necessary to be armed with a solid foundation along with a keen understanding of what should be important to me and my application.
