2.2. Inserting the I/O Modules
The ET-87P2/4/8 has 4/8 I/O expansion slots to expand the functions of the
ET-87P2/4/8, allowing it to communicate with external I/O modules, and before
choosing the right I/O modules, you first need to know the I/O expansion capacities in
order to choose the best expansion module for achieving maximal efficiency.
There are more than 30 high profile I/O modules available for interfacing many
different measurements, including thermocouple, voltage, RTD, current, resistance,
strain, digital,
…, etc., and these modules have their own manuals, so if you are using
them you should supplement this manual with the manual specifically designed for
the special module.
For more information about the I/O expansion modules that are compatible with the
ET-87P2/4/8, please refer to
