Input/Output Boards


Last changed February 23, 2010 - 12:09pm

Over the years, we have produced a wide variety of I/O related boards for our controllers. As time has progressed, we have moved from the historical ribbon cabled boards toward networked 485 based smart I/O boards. This page lists most of the current models and many of the expansion cards that are still used when interfacing field I/O to PLCs.

485 Modbus networked smart cards

Automation and Electronics, Inc. 4 Channel Turbine Accumulator Input Smart Card (STRB)4 Channel Turbine Accumulator Input Smart Card

SDAM
The SDAM Smart Card provides eight analog inputs.

PDAM
The PDAM is a piggyback module that can be added to any of our Smart Cards to provide an additional eight analog inputs.

SDAO
The SDAO Smart Card provides two analog outputs.

SDIM
The SDIM Smart Card provides eight accumulator inputs.

SDIO
The SDIO Smart Card provides 48 discrete inputs and 48 discrete outputs.

SPCM
The SPCM Smart Card provides four analog inputs with four additional analog monitoring values (loop fault, ambient temperature, supply and loop voltages) and one analog output.

STRB
The STRB Smart Card provides four turbine meter inputs.

All 485 Modbus Networked Smart Cards operate on a RS-485 9,600 baud serial channel. Communications are via MODBUS RTU. All have addresses set via DIP switches.

Turbine meter input boards
