Keep an eye on your system's status with this analogue input module from Siemens. It passes voltage, resistance and temperature readings to a PLC (such as 265-0918), packing plenty of monitoring functions into one device for hassle-free data collection. With its fast-mode conversion times of between 4 and 102ms, the unit handles measurements in a flash to stay up-to-date with process readings. Space for eight analogue inputs means it gathers signals from several sensors at once. Built-in diagnostic functions are on hand to help you quickly troubleshoot errors and minimise maintenance downtime. Look for input modules like this controlling HVAC equipment and metalworking systems.
Features & Benefits
• Voltage and resistance reading error of ±0.1% of input range, ensuring precise measurement conversion • LEDs to clearly indicate power and processing faults • Power loss of just 1.9W for energy-efficient data collection • Compact size of 35 (W) x 147 (H) x 129mm (D) easily slots in beside a PLC
What length cables can I use this input module with?
This unit works with shielded cables up to 800m in length. That means you can use it to reach across large areas without worrying about loss of performance.
