Novus DigiRail Connect DMIX Ethernet and RS485 IO Module (8DI,8DO)
The Novus DigiRail Connect DMIX features both a Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU communications and has 8 digital input and counter (32bit) and 8 Digital out. Counts are stored in non-volatile memory so they are not lost after power failure.
DigiRail DMIX Connect is a versatile I/O module to be used as an extension of any brand automation system. Its rich mixed inputs and outputs offer industrial standard digital signaling. The available DigiRail Connect options ensure the choice of suitable configuration for the customer application.
Bringing the Industry 4.0 to the rail level, the connectivity of DigiRail connect allows it to be used as slave Modbus RTU device in RS485 networks or as a server Modbus TCP device under Ethernet network.
The Digirail Connect also can be used as a Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU gateway
Specially designed for harsh environments, DigiRail Connect complies with the main EMC and EMI standards, providing robustness and reliability for industrial applications.
