  • Universal IO expansion of PLC based control systems
  • Remote IO over Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP
  • Combination of different IO types in one module
  • Suitable for use in DACS, SCADA and Data Logging applications
  • Free Configuration and Testing Software
  • Watchdog - Safe State On Comms Fail

Simple and rapid expansion of the number of inputs and outputs on almost any control or automation system. 

  • Digital Inputs - PNP, NPN or Dry Contact (Count Feature Configurable)
  • Digital Outputs - PNP 0.5A With (Pulse Feature Configurable)
  • Analogue Inputs - Thermocouples, PT100/1000, 0-5V, 0-10V and 4-20mA
  • Analogue Outputs - 0-20mA, 4-20mA or 0-10V

The DigiRail Connect will function as a slave device on an existing Modbus RTU network using the built in RS485 terminals. It can also operate as a Modbus TCP Server via built in ethernet port. All Connect models come with Ethernet, Micro USB and RS485 for complete connectivity. 

DigiRail Connect offer a mixture of signal IO, greater number of channels and connection possibilities when compared to the standard Novus DigiRail modules. Software configuration and IO testing is fast and simple with free NXperience Software.

There are 4 choices of module which complete the range, The RAMIX modules are a Rich Analogue Mix available with Digital or Relay Outputs. The DMIX modules are conventional Digital Inputs with a choice of Digital or Relay Outputs.
