FDC Analog & Digital IO Modules
FDC Analog & Digital IO Modules
The FDC-IO Modules offer Analog & Digital IO modules (Modbus RTU slave) for data acquisition and other applications offering reliable low-cost solution for distributed IO applications to PLC’s, HMI’s and/or PC based SCADA systems. All modules have LED indicators for visualization of IO status (digital), fault diagnostic analysis and easy DIP Switch configuration for Modbus addressing from 1 to 127.

PC based configuration software, IO Studi o , is provided and used for module configuration, viewing real time data and when necessary to check IO status. Module Modbus address is configured by DIP Switch.

The optional IO Studio DAQ ( Data Acquisition) software provides the same features as the IO Studio configuration software but also Real time viewing & data acquisition of RTU/Modbus TCP slave devices like the FDC-IO Modules. The software shows real-time data in the form of digital values, bar graphs, trends, etc. as well as a Historical Data Viewer with a maximum of 1024 tags. The IO Studio DAQ software carries a modest sell price (less then $200) it will run in demo mode for one hour and a demo only version may be downloaded here; IO Studio DEMOA .

Download the IO Studio DAQ software here with a demo mode that is good for one hour of use. Purchase of the software provides a Hardware lock (Key Pro) that plugs into the host PC's USB port. For detailed information download the FDC_IO_Studio_DAQ_Manual_R3.0.pdf
