Inputs
1
8 flex-io inputs with multiple modes: voltage, current, resistance, pulse and status.
Voltage mode: 0-10vdc (min/max/average/instantaneous data)
accuracy: +- 0.25% of full scale at 20ºc
Current mode: 4-20mA (min/max/average/instantaneous data)
accuracy: +- 0.25% of full scale at 20ºc
Resistance mode: 100 ohms to 100k.
accuracy: 100Ω-1kΩ +- 1% of 1kΩ at 20ºc
1kΩ – 10kΩ +- 1% of 10kΩ at 20ºc
10kΩ – 47.5kΩ +- 1% of 47.5kΩ at 20ºc
47.5kΩ – 100kΩ +- 1% of 100kΩ at 20ºc
100kΩ − 10MΩ accuracy unrated.
Pulse mode: intended for use with dry contact outputs. (consumption/rate/runtime/status)
Standard and KYZ modes for form A and C relay outputs
Input terminal supplies 3V ~ 5V at 5mA sense voltage to detect contact closures.
Maximum rate: 10hz, minimum pulse width 50ms.
Adjustable contact closure threshold: 100Ω to 5kΩ, broken wire sense above 10kΩ optional.
Pulse count and runtime values are stored in non-volatile memory.
Outputs
