Flexible Fieldbus Communication System

March 5, 2010
The D Series Serial Bus system for fieldbus communication and I/O modules supports Modbus TCP and DeviceNet protocols and requires no internal wiring for simple assembly. 
The D Series offers an extended range of I/O points for design flexibility, including various combinations of up to 352 digital outputs, 256 digital inputs, 16 analog outputs and 16 analog inputs. This allows one communication module to control up to 352 output devices or to receive input from up to 256 devices. The broad control ability contained in this one communication module allows users to save time otherwise spent on procuring and wiring up additional units, says the vendor. The module’s SD card configuration also allows the operator to make quick revisions to production programs with its convenient change-out capacity.Ross Controlswww.rosscontrols.com800.438.7677
