2. Module Features
2.1. Purpose and description of the module
1AI module allows voltage or current measurement and has one digital putput.
Values are read via RS485 (Modbus), so we can easily integrate the module with
popular PLCs, HMI or PC equipped with the appropriate adapter.
The device has 1 input to voltage measurement and 1 input for current
measurement (both inputs can be used in this same time). In addition, the module is
equipped with 1 configurable digital output (PNP or NPN type).
This module is connected to the RS485 bus with twisted-pair wire.
Communication is via MODBUS RTU or MODBUS ASCII. The use of 32-bit ARM
core processor provides fast processing and quick communication. The baud rate is
configurable from 2400 to 115200.
The module is designed for mounting on a DIN rail in accordance with
DIN EN 5002.
The module is equipped with a set of LEDs used to indicate the status of inputs
and outputs useful for diagnostic purposes and helping to find errors.
Module configuration is done via USB by using a dedicated computer program.
You can also change the parameters using the MODBUS protocol.
Expansion Module – 1 analog input, 1 digital output
