Characteristics

Binary inputs

The inputs are galvanically isolated by means of an optocoupler. 8 inputs are grouped together and have a common return.

The input circuitry maintains a constant input current through the use of a current regulator diode.

The binary input channels are reverse voltage protected. If the input signal is of the wrong polarity, the input current will be zero.

The module has 16 LEDs to indicate the signal status of the inputs. the LEDs directly indicate the input signals.

The maximum permissible frequency of the counter pulses is 120 Hz.

Power input

The required power supply for the module is provided via the RTU560 backplane.

I/O Controller (IOC)

The microcontroller on the module handles all key tasks for the parameterized processing functions.

In addition, it communicates interactively with the RTU I/O bus.

All configuration data and processing parameters are loaded by the communication unit via the RTU I/O bus.

The module is equipped with a serial interface to the RTU560 I/O bus on the backplane.
