GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The Model GMDIO14 module is a digital I/O module designed for use
with the Graphite products. This module offers eight inputs and six
outputs that can be used to monitor contact or sensor inputs and actuate
relays, solenoids, PLC inputs, etc.
The inputs accept standard DC inputs or contact closures, and are
configured for Sink/Source signals via external switches. Additionally,
each input has a switch selectable input filter that can be used to prevent
contact bounce. Each input may also be software configured as a high-
active or low-active input.
The module is available with relay or NFET outputs that are capable of
switching up to one amp each (NFET DC only). For applications
requiring large loads to be controlled, several DIN rail mount relays are
available.
The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB
connection to the various Graphite host devices. The Graphite host
devices, equipped with serial ports as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows
the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and SCADA systems. The
maximum number of modules varies for each Graphite host device, see
specific models for details.
Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/control
independent of the Graphite host device as long as power is applied.
Remove power from the host device before installing or replacing any
modules.
CONFIGURATION
The Graphite is configured with Windows
®
compatible Crimson
®
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of configuration and commissioning of new systems,
as well as routine module re-calibration.
SAFETY
SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear
in this literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal
safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment
connected to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially
harmful to persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
