By adding a variety of I/O and power supply modules, you can use AS-P or Automation Server to tailor the Intelligent Building Management System to your unique requirements.
Power and communications are delivered to the SmartStruxure server device and its family of I/O modules in a common bus, thus allowing them to be plugged together without tools. This simple one-step process involves sliding the modules together using their built-in connectors.
The available I/O modules are designed to accommodate a fixed number of inputs and outputs. For example, several I/O modules, such as digital inputs, only support a single electrical type. Other modules, such as digital inputs mixed with digital outputs, support a combination of electrical types. The various modules enable you to select the right combination of points necessary for your project.
The I/O modules are based on the patented two-piece design. Each I/O module consists of an electronics module and a terminal base.
The electronics module is the main component of SmartStruxure devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The electronics module is installed on a terminal base, which constitutes the second component of the device.

It is important to perform the grounding correctly for the following reasons:
To design a safe system that is not harmed by minor connection errors.
To design a system that works well and is resistant to EMI.
To minimize the effects of ground currents that can cause unstable measurements.
