Description

Introducing the 6-Channel Digital Input Module, a compact yet powerful solution for monitoring and transmitting six digital input signals from switches or sensors over CAN-bus. This highly configurable device supports periodic and event-based communication, making it perfect for industrial and automation environments. With advanced protections, an intuitive OLED display for real-time status, and seamless integration via CANopen® (CiA 401), this module ensures reliable and safe performance.

Functionality

• Six isolated, Type 3 digital inputs with protection against 48VDC, 250V overvoltage, and 4kV surges
• CANopen® compatibility for effortless integration (CiA 401)
• OLED display for status, SDO editing, and CAN-bus configuration
• Supports LSS node-ID assignment, Fastscan, and automatic bit-rate detection from 10kbps to 1Mbps

Ideal for industrial applications requiring reliable signal monitoring and transmission, this module ensures seamless connectivity and configuration through CANopen, a control panel, or a PC via micro-USB. With customizable firmware options and advanced power management, it provides the flexibility to meet specific automation needs.

Plug & Play configuration

Out of the box, the device is configured as self-starting to switch to OPERATIONAL state autonomously. The node-ID is programmed to 50 and one TPDO is configured to transmit inputs changes. This means the device can be used out-of-the-box by listening for 1 byte from 'raw' CAN-ID 0x1B2. This byte contains the 6 bits relating to the current state of the respective inputs. (Raw meaning without any CANopen stack or functionality on the receiving end.)

• Automatic switch to NMT state OPERATIONAL
• TPDO1 (CAN-ID 0x180+$NODEID) sends 1 bytes with 6 inputs assigned to the 6LSB
