A Sixnet product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 29, 2004

The new ST-MIX12884 Sixtrak combination I/O module offers 12 discrete inputs, eight discrete outputs, eight analogue inputs, and four analogue outputs.

The new ST-MIX12884 Sixtrak combination I/O module offers 12 discrete inputs, eight discrete outputs, eight analogue inputs, and four analogue outputs.

It can be used when there is a mix of I/O types, when panel space is limited, or when lowest cost is an important requirement.

Up to 20 of these modules can be connected to the high-speed I/O bus of Sixnet controllers, RTUs, and I/O gateways.

The discrete I/O features of this module include optional sinking and sourcing and adjustable threshold voltage on some discrete inputs.

Also, up to eight counters can be configured with a flexible choice of modes.

The discrete outputs can source up to 1A each and the first channel can be configured as a watchdog that will indicate if there is a system problem.

The analogue inputs offer 16bit A/D convertors for precision measurements.

Each analogue input is protected with a self-resetting fuse and can detect and report an open instrumentation loop.

The standard range is 4-20mA but voltage ranges are also available.

The analogue outputs are also 16bit and 4-20mA for accurate control of processes.

Sixnet I/O is engineered to withstand the abuse of harsh industrial environments.

The ST-MIX12884 is vibration and surge resistant, operates in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70C, and is rated CE, UL, CSA and hazardous locations Class 1, Division 2 (Zone 2).

The module also has been tested by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) for marine and offshore use.
