Introduction

1.
The PACSystems RSTi Network Interface and I/O family provides a cost effective, modular
distributed I/O system. The RSTi network is ideally suited for distributed applications such as
water/wastewater, process control, packaging and assembly. You can easily add RSTi
modules to the system to build functional remote I/O stations to meet your application
requirements.
Sr. Number
A set of interconnected RSTi modules can be chosen to suit the application and connected
as a slave on a PROFIBUS or a PROFINET network. An RSTi Network Adapter provides the
interface between the network and the RSTi modules. The Network Adapter and I/O modules
selected for an application constitute an I/O station.
