Large displays offer 50 or 100mm high LEDs
Designed to enable displayed data to be read over long distances, the BDF series are large four or six digit displays with 50 (2in) or 100mm (4in) high LEDs.
Amplicon has previously offered the popular A5B modules, and with the addition of the BusWorks distributed I/O range, now gives customers access to a greatly expanded network capability, improved performance, and lower costs per channel.
The latest BusWorks series brings Ethernet communications, built in web pages, and Internet browser configuration with 15 different models that accept signals from a number of different sensors and devices.
Measurement of variables such as temperature, voltage and current is possible, while analogue output and digital I/O modules complete the range.

Both the BusWorks series and Intellipack 800 series modules are PC programmable, whereas the 600 series of signal conditioning modules uses the internal microprocessor for auto or DIP-switch configuration.
All microprocessor based models provide high accuracy and stability and low-noise with 16bit sigma-delta A/D convertors.
High reliability and failsafe operation is ensured with watchdog timers provided on all distributed I/O modules for network communications.
The instruments are packaged in compact, space saving casings just 1in wide, which easily stack together and are DIN rail mountable.
Every module has a 5 year warranty and is available from Amplicon on a 7 day delivery service.
