PLC Arduino ARDBOX 20 I/Os Analog HF Modbus

It has 20 digital inputs / outputs.ARDBOX product family offers the possibility of communication between two computers using I2C obtaining a master-slave connection. Basic Controllers family offers the possibility of communication between two computers using I2C obtaining a master-slave connection. Instant connection and programming. The Basic Controllers family, as it uses an Arduino LEONARDO, lets you program it through the USB. This feature lets it an immediate access in order to program, mantain and prepare it for its set up. It lets you to control your equipmnent without no limits. Standarised modules. The different ARDBOX family devices are programmed exactly on the same way. Once you have used one of them, the rest can be configured on using the same methodology. Expandable Using the I2C connection which all the Basic Controllers family have you can connect up to 127 modules, which it means that you can have up to 2.540 Input / Ouputs in Master Slave connection. NOTE: for I2C you need to explain us that requirement. Flexible and dynamic All the components are configurable both configure like make your jobs as Master or Slave when used on Master-Slave connection through I2C.

Inputs
(Arduino Leonardo included)

– 10 Inputs:

• (9x) Analog (0-10Vdc) / Digital (5 to 24Vdc) Inputs

• (1x) Digital inputs PNP ( 5 to 24Vdc). (Opto-isolated)

Outputs
(Arduino Leonardo included)

– 10 Outputs:

• (10x) Digitals isolated (5 to 24Vdc)/ (6x) of 10x, PWM (5 to Vdc) outputs, configurables by Switch¹.

• (7x) of 10x, Analog 0-10V output. configurables by Switch¹.

Communications

– (1x) USB port.

– (1x) RS-485 Half / full Duplex (Modbus connection available between devices)

– (1x) I2C*

– (1x) SPI*

* See pinout to use communications ports because the number of inputs / outputs can be reduced.
