This module is a mixed I/O module that receives control signal
from analogue field devices (temperature sensor, level sensor, etc)
as well as digital field devices (sensor, switches, etc).
External analogue loads can also be set via its analogue outputs
and external digital load can be switched via its digital outputs
from the control system.
Each input point incorporates a noise or debounce rejection
filter. The filter time constant can be freely programmable. All
digital input points contains an optocoupler which provides
electrical Isolation between the module and the field device.
Different modes can be selected to perform special functions like
fast-counting. All digital input point statuses are indicated by
LEDs.
All the digital output points are electrically isolated
through the use of optocouplers. Small inductive loads (relays) can
be connected directly without external protection. Different modes
can be selected to perform special functions like one-shot
pulse. All digital output point statuses are indicated by
LEDs. |
