CI840

Description

• Power Supply: The CI840 usually operates on a 24V DC power supply. Its power consumption is relatively low, typically around 5 – 8W. This power – efficient operation is beneficial for long – term continuous use in industrial environments without excessive energy consumption.

• Input/Output (I/O) Configuration:

• • Digital Inputs: It is equipped with a set of digital inputs, often around 16. These inputs can receive signals from various digital sensors like proximity sensors, limit switches, and photoelectric sensors. The input voltage range commonly supports 5 – 24V DC, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of industrial – grade sensors.

• • Digital Outputs: There are 16 corresponding digital outputs. Each output is capable of driving a load with a current of up to 0.5A. This enables the control of devices such as relays, solenoid valves, and small – scale motors in industrial control systems.

• • Analog Inputs/Outputs: Some models may include analog I/O. The analog inputs can accept signals in the range of 0 – 10V or 4 – 20mA, which are useful for measuring physical quantities like temperature, pressure, and flow rate. The analog – to – digital conversion resolution is usually 12 – bit, providing accurate data acquisition for process control.

• Communication Interfaces: It commonly supports communication protocols such as Modbus RTU over RS – 485. This allows for easy integration into existing industrial control networks, enabling data exchange with other devices like programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human – machine interfaces (HMIs), and other intelligent sensors and actuators.

• Industrial Automation: In manufacturing plants, the CI840 can be used to control and monitor production lines. For example, in an electronics manufacturing factory, it can control the operation of pick – and – place machines, conveyor belts, and robotic arms. It can also monitor sensors to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

• HVAC Systems: In heating, ventilation, and air – conditioning systems, the CI840 can monitor environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, and air quality. It can then control the operation of fans, heaters, and air – conditioners to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

• Water Treatment Plants: In water treatment facilities, the CI840 can monitor water quality parameters such as pH value, turbidity, and chlorine level. It can control the opening and closing of valves, as well as the operation of pumps, to ensure the proper treatment and distribution of water.

• Weight: The module weighs approximately 0.3 kg, which is lightweight and convenient for installation in control cabinets or on DIN rails.

• Dimensions: It typically has dimensions of around 120 mm in length, 80 mm in width, and 30 mm in height. These compact dimensions make it suitable for installation in various industrial settings, even those with limited space.

• High – Precision Sensing: With its 12 – bit analog – to – digital conversion for analog inputs, it can accurately measure physical parameters, providing reliable data for process control.

• Easy Integration: The support for the Modbus RTU protocol over RS – 485 simplifies its integration into existing industrial control networks, reducing the complexity of system setup.

• User – Friendly Configuration: It often has a simple and intuitive configuration interface, allowing operators or technicians to quickly set up the device according to their specific requirements.

• Robust Housing: The module is enclosed in a durable housing that protects its internal components from dust, moisture, and minor mechanical impacts, ensuring stable operation in normal industrial environments.

• Electrical Protection: It is equipped with built – in over – current protection, short – circuit protection, and over – voltage protection, which can prevent damage to the device caused by electrical faults and improve its reliability and service life.

• Quality Manufacturing: The manufacturing process adheres to strict quality standards, guaranteeing long – term reliable performance.

• Food and Beverage Industry: In a brewery, the CI840 is used to monitor and control the fermentation process. It measures the temperature, pressure, and sugar content in the fermentation tanks and controls the operation of pumps and valves to ensure the quality of the beer.

• Residential Complex: In a residential complex, the device is used to manage the lighting and security systems. It can detect the presence of people through motion sensors and control the lighting in common areas. It can also receive signals from door sensors and security cameras to enhance the security of the complex.
