ValuPoint® VP4-2810 Programmable I/O for Modbus RTU
Control Solutions’ Model VP4-2810 ValuPoint® Programmable I/O for Modbus RTU has 28 I/O points, and operates as a master or slave for I/O expansion, or as a controller with soft PLC capability.
Control Solutions’ Model VP4-2810 ValuPoint® Programmable I/O for Modbus RTU has 28 I/O points, and operates as a master or slave for I/O expansion, or as a controller with soft PLC capability. The ValuPoint® platform is designed to be a building block in a distributed control system where controllers communicate via Modbus RTU. The ValuPoint® Model VP4-2810 features 16 discrete outputs, and 12 discrete inputs configurable as dry contact closure to ground, or DC voltage sensing (in two groups of 6). Pulse input at up to 1kHz is available on 2 channels. Pulse input to 10Hz is available on all channels. Pulse counts are totalizing, and saved to non-volatile memory every 15 minutes.
The ValuPoint® series of controllers is designed to be a building block in a distributed control system. The VP4-2810 can be used as Modbus slave for system expansion, or as Modbus master for stand-alone applications. When configured as Master, the VP4-2810 can query other Modbus devices, and use local registers to mirror mapped registers in remote devices.
