Input/Output Boards
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
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
4 Channel Turbine Meter Input Board
- SDIM
- The SDIM Smart Card provides eight high speed inputs on a RS-485 9,600 baud serial channel. Communications are MODBUS RTU.
