GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The model GMOUT is an analog output module designed for use with the
Graphite Series. The module provides four isolated outputs that are independently
programmable for output ranges of 0-5V, 0-10V, +/-10V, 0-20mA, or 4-20mA.
Internal scaling is provided to accommodate virtually any application.
The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB connection to
the various Graphite devices. The Graphite devices, equipped with serial ports
as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs,
and SCADA systems. The maximum number of modules various for each
Graphite device, see specific models for details.
Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/control independent
of the Graphite device as long as power is applied. Remove power from the host
device before installing or replacing any modules.
CONFIGURATION
The Graphite Series is configured with Windows
®
compatible Crimson
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface that provides a
means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning and
calibration of new systems.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the module.
