MODBUS Analogue, Digital, Relay Units
Description
A new range of low-cost Modbus based remote IO units, which provide a simple way for integrating analogue or digital signals to supervisory SCADA systems. There are several models in the range from voltage, current, thermocouple and PT-100 inputs, voltage and current outputs and digital and relay I/O. Supplied with the IO Studio configuration software. The optional DAQ Studio software can be used to provide a data acquisition, trending and alarm management interface for the PC. Also compatible with all SCADA packages such as DAQFactory. For smaller lower cost units see DigiRail >>

Modbus Netork
A new line of Modbus based IO modules for data acquisition and other applications. These IO modules offer good reliability, low-cost solution for distributed control applications. They are compact, easy to integrate with existing Modbus networks and simple to use for the end user. Various types of IO modules are available for different kinds of requirements. All IO modules have LED indications of IO status and fault diagnostics. All IO modules have an ioslated 2 wire RS485 interface. The use of Modbus RTU protocol allows for easy integration with most SCADA software packages such as DAQFactory

Converter Models
USB-i485 User Manual >>	The USB-i485 module is a cost-effective way to convert RS485 or RS422 industrial buses to a USB interface. When connected to a PC USB port the USB-i485 module is automatically detected and is installed as a native COM port which is compatible with any existing serial communication application. Muliple modules can be installed when using USB hubs thus allowing a hassle-free configuration of a multi serial system without any IRQ or DMA configuration. 1500 Vdc isolation between the USB port and RS485/RS422 protects the PC from spykes or possible misconnections in the communication bus
Configuration Software
IOStudio is a free software package used to configure the communication settings for IO modules on the Modbus network. Once a module is detected, it is possible to view real-time data of the module directly on the PC and it can be used for diagnostic purposes as well Download IO_Studio >>
SCADA Software
Data Acquisition Studio is an optional PC software package used to connect with the IO modules. A maximum of 1024 tags are supported. All the data from the IO modules can be collected and stored on the PC at pre-configured sample rates. Real-Time-Viewer is available to display real-time data in numeric values, bar graphs, trends etc. Historical Viewer is available too. A DDE feature can make real-time data available for use by third party applications like Excel. Alarm management is included and the user can configure high, low and rate alarms; alarm emails can be sent. The software allows 200 used configured pages, each page displaying a maximum of 6 tags. Control and monitoring software DAQFactory can now be used with the Modbus I/O units with version that have the connectivity pack. DAQFactory can be used to create an opertor interface, with plant mimics, chart recorders, provide automatic control, PID loops, alarms and datalogging and reporting functions.
