connected via RS485 interface
● Signal output via analog outputs (measured value) and relay outputs (device status)
● Signal input via analog and digital inputs
● Voltage supply for the connected sender/receiver units
● Communication with host control systems via optional modules
System and device parameters can be set easily and conveniently via a USB interface
using a laptop and the user-friendly SOPAS ET operating software. The parameters are
stored reliably even in the case of a power failure.
The control unit is usually installed in a steel plate housing. It is available as 19" rack as an
