DigiRail - Input/Output Modules with Modbus RS485 Connectivity

DigiRail-2A Two Analog Inputs - Thermocouples (J, K, T, E, N, R, S, B), Pt100, mV, V, mA 17 Bits Analog Input Resolution DigiRail-2R Two Independent Outputs, with Relay SPDT, 8 A, 250 Vac 32 Bit Timer DigiRail-4C 4 Digital Inputs/Counters 3 1kHz, 1 100kHz Counter   All Modules Modbus RS485 Communications LED Indicators for Communication and Status Isolation: 1000 Vac from Inputs (Analog or Digital) and Power or Communication Free Configuration Software The DigiRail is a family of multi-channel I/O modules that can communicate with computers, PLCs, SCADA systems and other digital devices through Modbus RS485.  Three variations of the DigiRail are available, a dual channel analog input module, a dual output relay/timer module and a four channel counter/digital input module. The DigiRail are ideally suited for industrial environments. The inputs are isolated from the output and power supply thus providing electrical protection and eliminating ground loop effects. All modules mount on 35mm DIN Rail and are configurable via the free downloadable software.  DigiRail-2A, Dual Channel Universal Analog Input ModuleThe DigiRail-2A has two analog inputs which are programmable for thermocouples (J, K, T, E, N, R, S, B), Pt100, mV, V, mA.   The inputs are read via a two wire RS485 network using Modbus RTU protocol. The two inputs are electrically insulated from the serial interface and the module supply.  Features include:  Analog inputs: programmable for thermocouples (J, K, T, E, N, R, S, B), Pt100, mV, V, mA  Cold junction compensation for thermocouples and compensation for Pt100 3-wire cables Open loop detection for thermocouples, Pt100 and mV Sampling rate for 1 analog input: 10Hz for mV, V and mA. 5 Hz for T thermocouples and Pt100  Analog input resolution: 17 bits DigiRail-2R, Dual Channel Relay/Timer Ouput ModuleThe  DigiRail-2R has two 8A SPDT relays which may either be used as standard relay outputs or as timer relays. The relays are controlled via communication over an RS485 network with Modbus RTU protocol. The outputs are electrically insulated from the serial interface and the module supply.   Features include:  Two independent outputs, with relay SPDT, 8 A, 250 Vac   32 bits timers (up to 4.294.967.295 hundredths of seconds) optionally used for activating each relay 1000 Vac dielectric strength between open contacts DigiRail-4C Four Channel Counter/Digital Input ModuleThe DigiRail-4C has four digital inputs which can be used to detect the "On/Off" state of a discrete input signal or as an input counter. The inputs are read via a two wire RS485 network using Modbus RTU protocol. The inputs are electrically insulated from the serial interface and the module supply. Features include:  4 Digital inputs which can accept signals up to 35 Vdc  Maximum count frequency of 1000 Hz for signals with square wave and working cycle of 50%. Input 1 can be configured as a high speed counter for for a frequency of up to 100KHz  32 bit counting capacity (per input)  Special counting capable of counting pulses in given time intervals (pulse rate) and retaining peak counting in given time intervals (peak rate) Software DigiConfig Software DigiRail Configuration is done via the RS485 interface  by using Modbus RTU commands. The free DigiConfig software, available as a download, allows for configuration of all DigiRail features as well as complete calibration and diagnosis. It automatically detects active devices in the Modbus network and permits configuration of all parameters. FieldChart Supervisory and Data Acquisition Software (Lite version available as a free download) FieldChart is a software used for monitor and register data acquired from NOVUS products. It generates real time trends and data lists that can be exported in usable formats like a spread sheet. There are two versions available: FieldChart-Lite and FieldChart-64C. The FieldChart-Lite can register 8 simultaneous channels and it is available for free. The FieldChart-64C can register up to 64 simultaneous channels.  [to_order_table]  To Order the model below scroll to the top of the page then  click on ADD TO CART button  PART NUMBERS DESCRIPTION DigiRail-2A Dual Channel Universal Analog Input Module DigiRail-2R Dual Channel Relay/Timer Output Module DigiRail-4C Four Channel Counter/Digital Input Module Accessories USB-i485 Isolated USB to RS485/RS422 PSJ-R-WA24V24W Regulated Wall Mount Power Supply, 24 VDC, 1 Amp, 24 Watt PSJ-U-DR24V24W DIN rail mount power supply, 24 VDC, 1 Amp, 24 Watt  [to_order_table]  Downloads DigiRail-2A User Manual DigiRail-2R User Manual DigiRail-4C User Manual DigiRail-2A Communication Manual DigiRail-2R Communication Manual DigiRail-4C Communication Manual DigiRail Configuration Software FieldChart Lite Software   SPECIFICATIONSDigiRail-2AInputs: 2 universal analog inputs.Input Types/RangesThermocouple J: -130 to 940°C (-202 to 1724°F)Thermocouple K: -200 to 1370°C (-328 to 2498°F)Thermocouple T: -200 to 400°C (-328 to 752°F)Thermocouple E: -100 to 720°C (-148 to 1328°F)Thermocouple N: -200 to 1,300°C (-328 to 2372°F)Thermocouple R: 0 to 1760°C (-32 to 3200°F)Thermocouple S: 0 to 1760°C (-32 to 3200°F)Thermocouple B: 500 to 1800°C (932 to 3272°F)RTD Pt100 (3 wires type, a= .00385): -200 to 650°C (-328 to 1202°F)Voltage: 0 to 20 mV, -10 to 20 mV, 0 to 50 mV, 0 to 5 Vdc, 0 to 10 VdcCurrent: 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mAAccuracyThermocouples: 0.25% of maximum range, ±1°CPt100, voltage and current: 0.15 % of the maximum rangeInput Impedance: > 1 MO (Thermocouples, PT100, Voltage), 1000 (Current)Sampling rate: from 2.5 to 10 samples per secondIsolation: 1000 Vac from inputs and power or communication.
