DESCRIPTION
The A8911-23 Input Module provides an easy way to integrate multiple pulse output
devices to Modbus systems such as the Veris AcquiSuite data acquisition network.
The A8911-23 accepts up to 23 standard pulse sensors and can function as a slave
device with any Modbus master. This data can be networked to other critical energy
sensors such as Veris Modbus power meters to provide a comprehensive energy
monitoring solution.
APPLICATIONS
●
Demand response program control and reporting
●
Cost allocation to tenants and third parties
●
Measurement and verification of energy savings
●
Gas, water, steam, and BTU meters
●
Monitoring performance of building systems (e.g., chillers, boilers, fans)
FEATURES
●
External communications via shielded twisted pair 18-22 gauge wire...allows
communication up to 4000 feet
●
Pulse input communication up to 200 feet using 18-24 gauge control wire
●
DIN rail mounting...quick and easy installation
●
Onboard DIP switches for Modbus addressing
●
Industry standard pulse inputs connect to most pulse output meters
●
LED verification of RS-485 Modbus TX/RX communications
●
LED indicators for each pulse input...fast indication and verification of pulses
●
Non-volatile memory retains configuration and pulse count totals during
power failures
Up to 23 Separate Pulse Inputs
Pulse Input Module
A8911-23 is sold as an open device.
Observe handling precautions for static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry which
would not be covered under the factory warranty.
