Regulated 5V Power supply pins for powering external sensors
Optional DIN Rail mountable breakout board for Maxbotix ultrasonic sensors routing power
and trigger signals for sequential daisy-chain operation providing maximum reading
reliability.
*These threshold registers are user writeable so a reading can be taken, the registers written back to,
either to zero out or set a new threshold, the system will check new readings against these values
and overwrite if the threshold has been exceeded in the respective direction.
Readings :
Pulse Count Mode keeps a tally of the number of pulses received from a given data source such as
water meter or power meter. These pulses are usually fired by the data source to indicate a number
of litres or kWh has been consumed and are cheaper to implement by the equipment manufacturer
than a full digital interface.
The RTU unit will count pulses up to 100Hz with the default de-bounce setting, a higher frequency
can be achieved if the user is able to supply a solid state input (avoiding relay contact bounce or
other sources of interference).
