Product Short Description
- Communication Protocols: Supports Modbus RTU over RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 half-duplex interfaces, ensuring compatibility with diverse industrial equipment.
- Channels: Features six configurable serial channels, allowing simultaneous connection to multiple devices with independent parameter settings.
- Data Handling: Handles 32-bit data word sorting with configurable parity (even, odd, or none) and data bits (7 or 8), optimizing communication flexibility.
- Power Supply: Requires 24 VDC input via a three-pin connector, with additional power routing through dual RJ45 Ethernet ports for integrated system design.
- Ethernet Support: Includes two Ethernet ports for Modbus TCP/IP master protocol support, enabling single-network configurations and integration with modern control systems.
Description
- Self-Diagnostics: Performs real-time monitoring of analog inputs (e.g., position, pressure) with configurable high/low thresholds for alarm generation and functional enable/disable.
- Environmental Tolerance: Operates reliably in temperatures up to 70°C, with a robust design suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- Certifications: Complies with UL/cUL 60950, 508, and 1604 (Class I, Div. 2) standards, meeting safety requirements for hazardous locations.
Functional Features
- High-Speed Serial Communication: Enables rapid data exchange between field devices and the Mark VIe controller, reducing latency in critical processes.
- Multi-Protocol Flexibility: Supports both serial (Modbus RTU) and Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP) protocols, facilitating seamless upgrades from legacy systems to modern architectures.
- Channel-Level Configuration: Each of the six serial channels can be independently set up for different protocols, baud rates, and data formats, simplifying integration with heterogeneous devices.
- Alarm Management: Generates 32 distinct alarms (e.g., 32–67, 108–113) for error detection, including communication failures, threshold breaches, and hardware issues, ensuring prompt troubleshooting.
- Compact and Durable Design: Features a DIN rail-mountable enclosure with a metal chassis, protecting against vibrations, shocks, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Redundancy Support: Compatible with non-redundant, dual-redundant, and triple-redundant power configurations, enhancing system availability in mission-critical applications.
