I Software Support
Series 900 I/O modules are compatible with popular Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software packages that support Modbus communication. The I/O modules may be configured using generic drivers provided with the HMI software to access the Modbus register maps. A list of popular third-party HMI software manufacturers: I AB/Rockwell I National Instruments I Citect I Steeplechase I Iconics I Think and Do I Intellution I Wonderware Acromag also offers a configuration utility for faster and easier setup. This software provides an intuitive approach to select configuration options for your application. Familiar Windows pull-down selection menus and fill-in-the-blank fields speed you through a few brief configuration screens. No programming is required. The utility also helps you monitor and verify proper operation of the module outside the main control software. This diagnostic tool provides a simple alternative to using Modbus register maps.

Watchdog Timer (Network Communication)
All modules have a communication watchdog timer function. The watchdog timer is configurable for timeout periods of up to 18 hours. This timer function monitors I/O communications with the host controller. In the event of lost communications, output ports optionally reset to a user-defined state or level. The watchdog timer restarts with a read/write to an I/O channel.

I Description
These modules provide twelve discrete input and/or output channels. Isolation separates the I/O, power, and network circuits. Network communication adheres to the industry-standard RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol. Both AC and DC power sources are supported with wide range, nonpolarized, diode-coupled terminals. The open-drain outputs are intended for currentsinking or low-side switching applications. The buffered inputs are active-low. These models are the complement of the 904, 905, and 906 units which have open-source, high-side output switches and active-high inputs. Socketed pull-up resistors are easily removed or exchanged to satisfy your application requirements. The 903MB model has twelve input/output points that may be used as inputs or outputs on a bit-by-bit basis. Outputs may be read back to verify output settings. Combining flexible I/O types, wide I/O ranges, and a network interface in a single package, makes this instrument extremely powerful. Multi-channel design adds cost-efficiency and allows high-density mounting. Plus, safe, rugged construction makes these modules reliable for use in both control room and distributed field I/O applications. Custom module configurations are also possible (consult factory for details).

I Description
This signal conditioner is a four-channel analog input module with four discrete outputs. It provides isolation between input, output, power, and network circuits. Network communication adheres to the industry-standard RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol. AC and DC power sources are supported with nonpolarized, diode-coupled terminals. The inputs accommodate wide DC voltage or current ranges. Flexible discrete outputs operate as alarms or on/off controllers. As limit alarms, each discrete output can be configured with high and/or low setpoints exclusively tied to an analog input channel. Alarm trips function without host communication enabling low-cost stand-alone alarms, as well as local backup for the primary control system. Otherwise, on/off control is based on commands issued by the host system. Combining flexible transmitter functions, mixed signal I/O, alarm support, and a network interface in a single package, makes this instrument extremely powerful. Multi-channel design adds cost-efficiency and allows high-density mounting. Plus, safe, rugged construction makes these modules reliable for use in both control room and distributed field I/O applications. Custom module configurations are also possible (consult factory for details).

I Description
This signal conditioner is a four-channel analog input module with four discrete outputs. It filters and linearizes thermocouple inputs while providing isolation between input, output, power, and network circuits. Cold junction compensation and upscale/downscale sensor break detection are standard. AC and DC power sources are supported with nonpolarized, diode-coupled terminals. The programmable inputs accommodate eight thermocouple types plus wide-range millivolt signals. Flexible discrete outputs operate as alarms or on/off controllers. As limit alarms, each discrete output can be configured with high and/or low setpoints exclusively tied to an analog input channel. Alarm trips function without host communication enabling low-cost stand-alone alarms as well as local backup for the primary control system. Otherwise, on/off control is based on commands issued by the host system. Combining flexible transmitter functions, mixed signal I/O, alarm support, and a network interface in a single package, makes this instrument extremely powerful. Multi-channel design adds cost-efficiency and allows high-density mounting. Plus, safe, rugged construction makes these modules reliable for use in both control room and distributed field I/O applications. Custom module configurations are also possible (consult factory for details).

I Description
This signal conditioner is a two-channel analog input module with discrete outputs and Modbus communication. It conditions periodic or pulse waveform inputs and provides solid-state relays for limit alarms or ON/OFF control. Versatile inputs accommodate many applications using TTL, magnetic pickups, proximity sensors, or a variety of switches (high/low-side transistor, dry contact, open drain, open collector). Bipolar and unipolar waveforms are supported with a selectable input bias that accepts both zero and non-zero crossing signals. Voltage threshold and relative hysteresis are also user selectable. Inputs may also function as event counters with separate microcontrollers for each channel. The module counts pulses on the positive or negative edge. It can wrap around to zero for continuous counting, latch at a programmed count value (setpoint), or automatically reset itself to zero after reaching a setpoint value. Software controls enable remote resets. A variety of filters help remove noise, jitter, and other mechanical effects to prevent false counts. The discrete outputs can operate as independent alarms or provide on/off control regulated by the host system. As limit alarms, each output can be set for high and/or low setpoints exclusively tied to an analog input. These low cost modules are ideal for standalone alarms as well as for local backup of the primary control system.
