An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in June 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of I/O and terminal blocks among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership. In this Market Intelligence Report, you will find detailed survey results with key findings summarized. The survey consisted of the following questions:
1. What type of I/O system do you have?
2. If you use remote I/O, which of these do you use the most?
3. What are you signal requirements?
4. What is your preferred physical cable connection technique?
