1.2 An Overview of mINT IO series:
MINT IO modules are innovative which provides a simple low cost solution for
distributed I/O requirements. The IO system consists of stand-alone Digital
and Analog - Input/output modules which are connected together on a RS485
two wire multi-drop network.
The modules communicate using the MODBUS RTU protocol. A 16-Bit
controller is used in the modules to provide high speed data processing and
fast communications turnaround times. Multiple baud rates are selectable
from 9600 to 115200 baud.
All IO modules plug directly onto an industry standard DIN rail. All modules
have a minimum isolation of 1500VAC RMS between the field and logic.
The modules have been equipped with status LED’s which are used to
indicate the status of Inputs or outputs.
This visual indication assists with fault finding and diagnostics.
