Field Interface

Inputs: 16 Channels (1 group of 16), sourcing.

You can use this module to operate as an event counter, a pulse counter, and for pulse width measurement. With appropriate firmware, a pattern recognition may be implemented to trigger an event alarm.

You can set filter time to reduce the effect of signal noise, with a corresponding reduction in the maximum measured rate of change at the input. The resulting improvement in noise immunity in a signal also helps to prevent rapid changes of the input data due to contact bounce.

You can timestamp data.

Voltage and current ratings: Module power minimum is 1.3 W, 55 mA at 24 VDC Module input inrush is 1.3 A, max. (Decays to nominal limit in less than 50 ms); Module current/power is 80 mA max., at 18-32 VDC, 4 W maximum. (16 channels at 5 mA per channel); Module current passthrough maximum is 9.55 A at 18…32 VDC; SA power passthrough, maximum is 9.55 A at 18…32 VDC.
