Product range

 

  Power Supply PS-24VDC

The module generated from the unregulated input voltage of 24 VDC
the internal electronics voltages 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC.
The supply the modules of the node are via the internal GREENBUS.

 

  Bus coupler BC-CANopen

The bus coupler processes the data of the I/O modules and establishes the link to the CAN environment.

 

  PLC CPU PLC-CANopen

The PLC is a computer system that is suitable for railway applications with the Linux operating system. The user programming is done under CoDeSys IEC 61231-3

 

  Binary Input Modules 8DI-DC24V

The modules offer 8 binary inputs. The continuous input current of 7mA
guarantees a high level of signal reliability.
Due to the potential-free design, the inputs can be switched in series.

 

  Binary output modules 8DO-DC24V-1A

The modules offer 8 binary outputs. The maximum output load is 1A/ channel at 24V DC. Due to the potential-free design, the outputs can be switched in series. An external power supply for the electrically isolated circuits is not necessary.

 

  Analog-Modules 4AI-2AO-UI

The modules offer 4 analogue inputs and 2 analogue outputs for following standard voltages and currents:
+/- 10 V; 0-10 V
0(4)-20 mA
The voltages and currents have a common ground

 

  Temperature-Modules 4AI-PT100

The modules offer 4 analogue inputs for measuring temperature via PT100 elements. The inputs have a common ground.
The temperature measuring range covers from -50 °C to 450 °C.
The measurement is carried out in 2 and 4 conductor technology.
