Upgrade path offered for development tools
Sixnet encourages existing users to keep their existing Workbench keys so they may convert existing applications on their own time frame and with no risk.
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. Request a free brochure from Sixnet ...
