The DRP-8500 Series modules offer
a low cost analog I/O solution for
micro PLCs. The series is ideal for
discrete automation applications
requiring one or two analog I/O
channels. All models in the series
interface with the PLC high speed
counter inputs or pulse outputs.
Digital signal pulse-width is fixed at
50 µsec. They will accept a variety
of analog inputs, such as
thermocouple, RTD, strain gage,
voltage, and current. Some DRP8500 models can be connected
to pulse outputs from a PLC, and
will then provide an analog output.
The DRP-8500 series modules have
an isolated floating optocoupler
transistor which provides DC
isolation from the input, output and
DC power. The output transistor is
fully floating allowing either source
or sink connection to the PLC. The
DRP-8500 resolution is 12 bits.
The DRP-8600 Series modules are
designed to interface with the lowspeed 24 Vdc logic inputs of a PLC
for applications requiring additional
analog inputs. The DRP-8600
modules output a square wave up to
500 Hz with a 50-50 duty cycle,
allowing the PLC to count the
frequency producing better than 8bit resolution, 1 part in 500. The
DRP-8600 module has an isolated
floating optocoupler transistor which
provides DC isolation from the input,
output and DC power. The output
transistor is fully floating allowing
either source or sink connection to
the PLC.
