Flexibility, and being able to pivot manufacturing facilities, is becoming increasingly important with the growing demand for customized products. Software configurable I/O (SWIO) technology provides unprecedented levels of flexibility for any industrial I/O function to be accessed on any pin, allowing channels to be configured at any time. This means customization can happen right at the time of installation, resulting in faster time to market, fewer design resource requirements, and universal products that can be implemented broadly across projects and customers. With deep domain expertise in the process control industrial I/O domain, Analog Devices pioneered the SWIO concept and has worked with our industry partners to provide a highly flexible and valuable technology to meet the cost of ownership demands seen in today’s industrial market.
