RS-485 Serial Modbus Digital Input Module – Modbus RTU Digital Input Module
The Lucid485 Serial Modbus Digital Input Module is an acquisition and monitoring solution available with 4/8/16 digital input channels.
Digital input channel configuration and protection
The digital input channels of the Serial Digital Input Module are carried out optical and potential insulated in order to protect the hardware and give higher flexibility in design.
Voltage threshold levels of the digital input channels
In order to interface with many different signals, the Module is available for 3 different threshold input voltages of the ranges 5V, 10V and 24V.
Digital input channel operation modes
In order to give most flexibility each channel of the Modbus Digital Input Module can operate in one of the following modes:
| Mode | Function |
|---|---|
| Reflect Mode | Samples a digital input signal and provide its conditioned and debounced state. |
| Edge Detection Mode | High speed sampling of digital inputs and detecting rising or falling edges in real-time. |
| Count Mode | Configurable high speed counter allows to acquire a wide range of pulses and sensors. |
Signal conditioning and debouncing
Filters can be applied to each input channel in order to suppress erroneous signal states.
Timer Functions
Ensure signal detection without activity of the host computer which is crucial in order to guarantee precise timing.
DO16-5-P with voltage output
The DO16-5-P is a non-isolated version with common ground. It provides a 5V constant voltage output, which can be used in order to realize pulled-up input channels.
Optical indication of digital input state
The state of each digital input is reflected by a LED
Industrial ready Design
The housing of LucidControl can be directly mounted on Din-rails ready for switch board assembly.
Using industrial standard IO connectors ensures reliable interconnection.
Multi-protocol support
In order to be most flexible, the Lucid485 module supports multiple protocols. The Modbus RTU protocol gives access to IO values like voltage or digital states.
The LucidControl Network Frame protocol is compatible with of our IO modules and gives full documented access to the unit.
Support of the industry standard ASCII protocol is planned.
Easy installation of Hard and Software
Lucid485 modules are easy to install and start working immediately after set up.
Tools like the Command Line Tool and APIs for Windows and Linux are available. The API is compatible with .NET, Java and Python.
