Part #: MBus_io12_LCD
The MBus_io12_LCD is a fully programmable Modbus I/O Controller with an LCD Display and a built-in temperature sensor. It can be programmed using our free MBus_ioFlash programming software. It is a professional grade automation controller loaded with features and perfect for almost any control or monitoring application. The MBus_io12_LCD communicates using the Modbus-RTU protocol over RS485 networks.
The MBUS_io12_LCD contains the following I/O Points:
- 1 built-in temperature sensor
- 8x 12-bit universal inputs (jumper configurable for: 10k thermistors, dry contact, 0-5V/10V input, 0-20mA)
- 4x Analog Outputs (jumper configurable for 0-10V or 4-20mA)
- 5x relay outputs rated for 2A @ 24VDC
- Ambient Light Sensor
- Momentary Push-Button
The MBus_io12_LCD Programmable I/O controller can be used for a wide range of applications. Some simple applications would be to use it as a communicating modbus thermostat or as a simple modbus slave I/O Device.
However, much more elaborate applications are possible since the MBus_io12_LCD is FULLY PROGRAMMABLE using our free MBus_ioFlash graphical programming software. Even the LCD display and front panel buttons are completely programmable such that the MBus_io12_LCD can be used as a customizable user interface or as a control and monitoring device for almost any application.
