Introduction
The LaserSpeed I/O Module is used to translate the serial output data, Speed,
Length and Gauge Status, from a LaserSpeed 8000 or 9000 Series Gauge to a
parallel output. Optional Profibus and Ethernet field bus are also available in the
I/O Module. The I/O Module connects to the LS9000/LS8000 gauge through a
gauge cable via an RS422 connection, and provides a pass-through connector
for direct access to all the Inputs and Outputs of the LS9000/LS8000 Series
Gauge. A Light Stack connector provides signals to drive a visual indicator (a
light stack) to display the status of the gauge. The I/O Module can also be used
calculate the Elongation Ratio/Differential Speed between two LS8000/LS9000
Series gauges. In addition, the I/O Module can be used to synchronize the
outputs of multiple gauges to output their data at the same time.
