Protege DIN Rail
4 Channel Analog Input Expander
PRT-ADC4-DIN
The Protege DIN Rail 4 Channel Analog Input Expander enhances the total integration philosophy of the Protege System by allowing the connection of any industrial automation sensor using the industry standard 0 to 10V signals, and self-powered 4-20mA current loop sensors. The data from the sensors can then be used for comparison functions, process control calculations, variable display and alarm activation in the Protege system.
- Automatic scaling provides a full 4 to 20mA input range on the current interface
- 10 Bit precision analog circuitry interfaces to the real world providing a high level of accuracy
- 4x 100% independent analog inputs provide excellent noise and interface protection
Features
Channel Configuration Features
Configuration of the analog input channels allows individual channels to be set up and programmed for specific functions without compromising other channels:
- Each channel can be independently enabled
- Always send and send on change can be configured per channel to ensure data is sent in the most efficient manner without continual traffic
- Data can be logged to a file which can be reviewed or exported in CSV format for graphing or input into 3rd party systems
Connectivity and System Expansion
Extending the Protege System with 4 analog inputs from the Protege DIN Rail 4 Channel Analog Input Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion. Address configuration is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller.
Power Supply
Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost-effective power distribution.
Communication
A single RS-485 communication interface port used for all network communication functions and interconnection to other modules.
Upgradable Firmware
Utilizing the latest flash technology and high performance communication mediums, the firmware can be updated via the Protege interface.
