AD-AEB 20 GX
Description
The AD-AEB 20 GX enables 2-channel analog signal acquisition while providing digitally processed process variables. The signals are provided via an RS485 bus interface. Analog values ??and scaling values ??can be called up via implemented MODBUS commands. All settings regarding scaling or filters are made via MODBUS commands.
The power supply and the RS485 bus connection are possible via the rear DIN rail connector. The device is equipped with two rotary coding switches with which the bus address can be set on the device.
The input current shunt is automatically switched on when reading the current value.
With the input signal switches (E1 / E2), each signal input can be permanently connected to the 50 Ohm terminating resistor in order to safely complete current loops even if the supply voltage fails.
The operating voltage is indicated by a green LED. The data communication is signaled by a yellow LED. Invalid measurement signals outside the defined measuring range are detected. In this case, the green LED flashes.
As well as interface settings as well as the device address can be modified during operation by means of Modbus commands. All Modbus register addresses and associated commands are listed in the document attachment.
Application
Conversion of analog process variables in digital information, already in the cabinet. Drastic reduction of wiring work.
