We are further expanding the Protos X Field I/O system to include Ethernet IP as a communication option. With the addition of the Ethernet IP Bus coupler this Field I/O system, can be controlled Implicit I/O messaging. The Protos X is compact and is designed for applications where a typical PLC will not be an option. A single assembly consists of a Bus coupler the I/O Terminal modules and Bus End Terminal. This single configuration can range from as small as 1 terminal module or as large as 64 Terminal modules, and when using the Bus Expansion modules, this will network multiple assemblies together that can expand up to 255 terminals Modules. The I/O terminals modules offer 12 discrete input and output options; and 18 analog input and output options, which are available in 4 to 20, plus or minus 10, RTD, and in Type J and K thermocouple. To make your configuration easier, please see the Protos X Selector tool. This tool will help you build and verify your configuration, with options to email your configuration or add your configuration directly to your cart. Make sure to purchase the USB Programming cable to configure your system. With this cable and the configuration software, which is free to download from our site, you can quickly set up bus coupler for use with your Implicit Ethernet I/P SCanner.
