Absolute cheapest Remote IO ?

I have a customer that was using a lot of this for the low price and started having a lot of problems (I'll have to ask again about specifics), they've since switched to the Bailiff io-link solution. They use a lot of analog inputs.

That Ethernet/IP busmodule from AD sure looks a lot like the similar type from Beckhoff:

Apart from that, any remote i/o that uses cage-clamp terminals get afrom me.
Push-in terminals are becoming the new standard, and I just hate them :angr:
It's a Koyo product. The same company that made the GE Series One and Series Five PLCs.
The AD C0 line is probably Koyo.
The AD PX line seems to me is rebranded Beckhoff.
In my experience, procuring a 5-7 year old son is most definitely not cheap.
That's awesome, never knew Clicks could do that!
So I wonder if the battery in the Click died, would it still function as Remote I/O? I saw in the video that he had tk set up what data was to be shared, but I couldn't tell if that was just for generating the EDS file or not.
I've personally never had issues with it, and the support has been fantastic in my neck of the woods.
The advantage of the Murr stuff over Balluff stuff is the fact that the Murr is all on one single IP address - so it only uses one of your available nodes in the PLC. Each balluff master requires a separate IP address.
I will admit, I don't get into the remote I/O side as much as I used to, so my information may be outdated.

Models that have the battery have a real time clock. The non battery do not have the RTC.

+1 to this.
This is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do EIP remote IO outside of Rockwell. The Clicks are easy to set up and program, their software is free and the EIP development is seamless into Studio. They also have a decent offering of IO modules

It is indeed rebranded Beckhoff/Wago. The big difference between what AD is selling now, vs the Beckhoff EK9500 earlier in the thread is that the PX stuff is all K-Bus so you're going to be limited your IO options and the cost for that IO is higher.
The EK9500 is a true E-Bus coupler so you've got the ability to use the full range of current IO modules from Beckhoff, as well as their very affordable EtherCat box field IO. I've not used one yet, but the configuration looks much easier on the EK9500 vs the PX series.

I've reported three profiles with similar links. I'm assuming it's somebody trying to give their google results a boost.
EDIT: Just had a look and there's three more today, all comments on old threads.
