These modules drive four analog output channels and also feature four discrete outputs for on/off control. Isolation separates the output, power, and network circuits.
Network communication adheres to the industry-standard RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol. AC and DC power sources are supported with nonpolarized, diode-coupled terminals.
The analog outputs generate a signal based on communication from the host. They accommodate wide DC voltage or current ranges. Discrete outputs provide simple on/off switching capability for external devices.
Combining analog outputs, on/off controllers, and a network interface in a single package, makes this instrument extremely powerful. Multi-channel design adds cost-efficiency and allows high-density mounting.
Plus, safe, rugged construction make it reliable for both control room and distributed field I/O use in a broad range of temperature control applications. Custom module configurations are also possible (consult factory for details).
