Controls Premieres Three New Analog I/O Modules for ControlLogix Platform
at Automation Fair
Enhance PLC capability and performance with new analog
I/O modules
November
20, 2002 — Anaheim,
California
—
Spectrum
Controls, Inc., the leading manufacturer of hardware and software for the
industrial controls marketplace, will debut three new 8-channel analog I/O
modules—the Universal Analog I/O, the Analog Input with HART Protocol
and the Analog Output with HART Protocol—at Automation Fair in Anaheim,
California. These
new I/O modules were specifically designed for seamless compatibility with
Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756 I/O chassis.
The
1756sc-IF8u Universal Analog I/O
module is the preferred solution for mixed I/O applications. This eight
channel analog input module accepts current, voltage, resistance,
thermocouple and RTD input types. Data is fully linearized and output in
user-selectable engineering units. Channel configuration is convenient and
easy to complete—using existing programming software.
The new eight channel Analog Input and Analog Output modules with HART
Protocol provide ControlLogix PLCs and ProcessLogix DCS with full analog
capability and the benefit of HART (highway addressable remote transducer)
protocol in one I/O module. The
1756sc-IF8H and
1756sc-OF8H Analog I/O Modules maximize I/O performance by combining
real-time HART data acquisition in conjunction with standard analog
acquisition and control—at a fraction of the cost.
Each module also acts as a HART master, allowing communication with HART
field devices. Field devices may be interfaced directly to the module,
eliminating the expense of additional external HART bridge devices or
hand-held communicators.
