New-look I/O system product range
March 2001
Data Acquisition & Telemetry
The popular MOD-MUX Modbus I/O system from Procon Electronics has recently been given a new look and has been upgraded making installation and maintenance much easier.
A diagnostic port has been added to each of the modules which gives access to process variables by means of the Procon diagnostic unit. This diagnostic unit can be plugged into a module at any time during commissioning or maintenance without interfering with the operation of the module or network. The unit is powered by the MOD-MUX module and configures automatically according to the type of module being tested.
The comprehensive product range includes digital inputs and outputs, analog (voltage and current) inputs and outputs and temperature measurement modules using thermocouples or RTDs. A range of universal displays is available for displaying process variables over the network.
The modules communicate over an RS485 network using the well-known Modbus protocol. They may be connected to a PC using any one of the many scada packages that support Modbus, or to a PLC with a Modbus master communications port. Repeater modules, RS232/RS485 converter modules and fibre-optic modules complement the range to give advanced communication flexibility. Procon Electronics says that the MOD-MUX product range has been gaining popularity and has been used in many data acquisition projects throughout the country.
