Sealevel 462M

462M SeaI/O-462M RS-485 Modbus RTU Interface to 96 Channel TTL Digital Interface

Description

The SeaI/O-462M is an RS-485 Modbus RTU interface module providing 96 channels of buffered drive digital I/O. The interface module addresses the 96 channels of I/O as 12 eight-bit ports, each programmable as input or output. Connect up to four industry standard relay racks for PC based control and automation of equipment including sensors, switches, security control systems, and other industrial automation systems.

The SeaI/O-462M makes the I/O available via dual DB-78 female connectors. For easy connection to relay racks, Sealevel offers a six-foot cable (Item# CA237) that terminates each DB-78 to two industry standard 50-pin IDC connectors. The SeaI/O-462M is powered from your 9-30VDC source, or select from a variety of Sealevel power supply options.

Communicate with the SeaI/O-462M using industry standard Modbus RTU protocol or use the Sealevel SeaMAX API software libraries from your application program. Sealevel’s SeaMAX software drivers and utilities make installation and operation easy using Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.

Expand your I/O network with SeaI/O N-series products. SeaI/O modules are available with Reed and Form C relays, optically isolated inputs, TTL interfaces, A/D and D/A functionality. Up to 246 additional expansion modules can be added using convenient pass-through connectors.
