Key Features

• High-Resolution Data Acquisition: The 16-bit A/D converter provides exceptional detail, allowing the PLC to detect minute changes in field signals—essential for precision weighing or flow control.

• Versatile Signal Compatibility: Supports a wide array of industrial standards, including bipolar voltage (-10 to +10 V) and standard 4-20 mA current loops, ensuring compatibility with almost any industrial transmitter.

• Advanced Signal Filtering: Each channel can be configured with first-order lag or moving average filters to eliminate electrical noise and stabilize fluctuating process readings.

• User-Configurable Scaling: Features a broad scaling range of -30,000 to +30,000, enabling engineers to map raw electrical signals directly to engineering units (like PSI, Bar, or Celsius) within the module hardware.

• Self-Diagnostic Capabilities: Includes built-in hardware monitoring and over-range detection to alert the system of sensor failures or wiring issues immediately.

• Data Retention: Built-in Max and Min value retention per channel allows for easy tracking of process extremes without intensive PLC programming.
