September 19, 2011 - CAS DataLoggers announce HSM-24V External Module for ADwin real-time data acquisition and control systems, provides 32 digital I/O channels fully compatible with 24-volt signals commonly found in industrial applications. The channels can be configured to be inputs or outputs in groups of 8 and also offer short circuit protection. Additionally, the HSM-24V module has a built-in DIN rail mounting clip to facilitate easy installation in control cabinets. When configured as inputs, built-in hardware filtering reduces the potential of interference from external electrical noise. Each channel also has an associated LED indicator to provide an immediate visual status indication.
The HSM-24V is perfect for digital inputs or outputs that don’t require the microsecond response time of the digital I/O built into the ADwin system; for example, to read the status of manual switches, door or interlock switches, or proximity sensors. It can also be used to activate relays, solenoid valves or to turn on indicator lamps. The HSM-24V connects to the ADwin system via the LS bus, a bi-directional serial bus supporting up to 15 addressable modules allowing a maximum of 480 I/O points. The LS bus is supported on all three ADwin platforms: the ADwin-Light-16, the ADwin-Gold-II, and the ADwin-Pro.
