Procon PM4RO - 4 Relay Output Module (RS485)

The PM8DIO module is an 8 channel digital input and 8 channel digital output module.

The inputs are isolated from the logic by bi-directional opto-couplers. The common is connected internally to either the -volts or +volts field power supply terminals using a jumper link which is situated inside the housing.

The module may be used as either a slave or master on the Modbus network. When used with a PC or PLC the module will be configured as a slave. When used with another PM8DIO module in a point-to-point configuration, the DIP switch 9 must be turned on to set the module up as a master. In this mode the PM8DIO module will automatically read/write the information from/to the other PM8DIO module.

The inputs have internal counters associated with them. These counters are 32 bit counters allowing a count value from 0 to 4294967295. The count value can be cleared by writing a zero to the associated registers or preset to any other value using the same method. The counters can also be reset automatically when read. This is done by setting on DIP switch 9 on the front panel.

Note: The count values are not battery backed-up and will be lost if power is turned off.

PROMUX RS485 (I/O Modules)

PROMUX is an innovative modular I/O system which provides a simple low cost solution for distributed I/O requirements.

The PROMUX system consists of stand-alone Digital and Analog Input and Output modules which are connected together on a RS485 two wire multi-drop network. The modules communicate using the MODBUS RTU protocol.

A 32bit ARM CPU is used in the modules to provide high speed data processing and fast communications turn around times. Multiple baud rates are selectable from 2400 to 115200 baud.

All PROMUX modules plug directly onto an industry standard DIN rail. All modules have a minimum isolation of 1000VAC rms between the field and logic. The modules have been equipped with status led’s which are used to indicate the status of the Inputs or outputs. This visual indication assists with fault finding and diagnostics.
