Distributed IO & SCADA Apps

Acromag”s EtherStaxline of rugged, high-density Ethernet I/O blocks are designed fordistributed I/O and SCADA applications with new channel-isolateddiscrete I/O. Channel-to-channel isolation adds further protection fromtransients and noise. ES2116, ES2117, and ES2118 models process 32discrete inputs and 16 outputs with a Modbus TCP/UDP/IP interface to ahost controller. Acromag’s i2o technology enables peer-to-peercommunication between I/O units. Dual-network ports support10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-FX fiber-optic connections with aredundant communication path for critical applications. Dual DC powerterminals enable use of redundant power sources. An embedded Web pageprovides configuration menus accessible with any Web browser toeliminate programming. The compact, stackable aluminum enclosureresists shock and vibration making it ideal for mounting directly onmachinery. Multiple units can stack in an eight-inch by seven-inch footprint. An openboard version is available for custom mounting.EtherStax are suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C,and D locations.
