Ethernet-Based Remote I/O with Fail Safe Function

January 13, 2009

CONTEC has released the first module in its new F&eIT "N" Series.

The GDIO-1616LN-FIT features 16ch opto- isolated inputs (12-24V) and 16ch opto- isolated open-collector outputs (12-48V). Inputs work with both of current sink and current source outputs. The output rating is 24VDC 150mA / 48VDC 50mA per channel (max).

The F&eIT "N" Series is comprised of isolated digital input / output modules that can remotely monitor and control equipment using existing network infrastructure. These modules can be easily installed using a standard LAN cable. The "N" Series modules are compact (188.0(w) ×78.0(d) ×30.5(h)) and can be installed in locations with limited space.

These modules feature Contec's original "Fail Safe" function which can notify the external devices when communication failure occurs through the use of a specific user-defined signal pattern. It will then, according to the occurrence of the event trigger conditions, perform the output in a specified sequence with the range of specified bits (bit specified as 1) by output bit/mask of the digital output port.
