Revolution in production: Rockwell Automation presents Pointmax ™ I/O

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - Rockwell Automation, Inc. on June 17, 2025, introduced the Pointmax ™ I/O, a flexible decentralized input/output system (E/A) that was developed to help manufacturers to be copied in growing complexity in modern industrial processes. In view of dynamic and networked manufacturing environments, which require high adaptability, the company is well equipped with this new product to meet the challenges of Industry 4.0. Conventional E/A systems are often difficult to scalable and waiting, which is a major obstacle in view of the extensive wiring and large control cabinets. In contrast, Pointmax I/O enables modular, scalable and easily reconfiguring E/A advisers.

The system offers the necessary flexibility for new machines and existing systems in fast -moving production companies. Developed for high -performance environments in which reliability and real -time communication are of central importance, Pointmax I/O is suitable for rough industrial conditions and a variety of applications. The official performance took place at the Roclive EMEA in Rome, where the participants could experience live demonstrations and workshops. The availability of the system is expected for the third quarter of 2025, which increases the anticipation in the industry.

technological advantages

Pointmax ™ I/O modules represent a new generation of remote I/O solutions that are specially tailored to the modern needs of production. The integrated and scalable I/O product range promises market-leading performance with high flexibility and reduced space requirement. An essential feature is the modular design, which reduces the space requirement in the control cabinet and simplifies the system layout considerably. These modules can be used in different applications within the discrete, hybrid and process industry.

The technological skills of the system include insightful diagnoses, fast connectivity and simplified integration. Pointmax I/O optimizes the efficiency and maintenance of machines through features such as high reaction speed and data processing. The modules are customizable in an I/O-rack and can support up to 32 modules. The system is also designed for operating temperatures from -25 to +60 ° C, whereby special XT variants are suitable for the hardest conditions.

innovative integration

In today's world, a secure network infrastructure is just as important as the integration of intelligent devices that enable efficient data acquisition. Rockwell Automation has integrated this into its strategy for industrial automation systems. With the possibility of individual compilation of platforms, companies can make their automation systems efficiently. The integration of controls and information across the company enables the operating processes to be optimized. Networked cooperation between facilities and employees is significantly promoted by these new technologies.

Pointmax I/O is compatible with Compactlogix® 5380, Compactlogix 5480 and Controllogix® 5580 controllers and requires the Studio 5000 Logix Designe® version 36 or higher. Efficient commissioning and maintenance is guaranteed with a uniform design that supports common tags and data structures via the 5000 I/O architecture, and Near-Field Communication (NFC) for IP configuration. The modules not only offer adaptability, but also a significant reduction in downtimes due to the possibility of changing module under tension.

These are some of the numerous features that make Pointmax I/O a promising solution to the challenges of modern production. Interested companies can look forward to official market launch in the next quarter, while Rockwell Automation continues to act as a pioneer in industrial automation.
