This paper explores how configurable and intelligent I/O technologies are transforming industrial control systems by enabling greater flexibility, improved thermal performance, and higher system uptime. Traditional fixed-function I/O architectures, while effective in stable environments, create inefficiencies through SKU proliferation, underutilized channels, and limited adaptability to late-stage design changes. Configurable I/O addresses these challenges by allowing […] The post Intelligent, Configurable I/O: Edge Autonomy, Thermal Efficiency, and Higher Uptime in Industrial Control Systems
