Functions and features
The intelligent Ethernet system
MSX-E1516
has eight times two digital 24 V lines, which can be
configured as pairs of inputs or outputs.
The system provides an event logic for the inputs and outputs. Thus, an event datagram can be
generated when their status changes.
By means of an external trigger, the digital inputs and outputs on multiple systems can be updated
simultaneously (synchronisation). The system can be configured over either the integrated web
interface or SOAP or Modbus commands. These interfaces also enable sensor data to be accessed.
Via an integrated Ethernet switch, the system can be cascaded with other MSX-E systems. This also
applies to the voltage supply and the trigger/synchro line, which facilitates wiring between the single
systems.
The Ethernet system is mounted in a robust EMC-protected metal housing, which complies with the
degree of protection IP 65. In this way, the Ethernet system is able to cope with daily stresses and
strains such as current peaks, vibrations, dirt or extreme temperatures. Moreover, it can be used in the
extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and is equipped with numerous
protective circuits. The “Status” LED provides for a quick and easy error diagnosis.
The electronics are no longer in the computer itself but in an external housing connected to the
computer via Ethernet. As the Ethernet system is attached in direct vicinity of the sensor or actuator,
the function of the latter is no longer affected by long cables. The length of the (Ethernet) connection
cable from the Ethernet system to the computer may be up to 150 m. The system must be supplied
with external voltage (24 V).
