2. Processor and Memory
   • It is equipped with a dedicated microprocessor designed for real – time control tasks. The processing speed is optimized to handle input signals and execute control algorithms rapidly.
   • The module has 64 MB of RAM for storing and processing real – time data. There is also 16 MB of non – volatile flash memory for storing the system software, control programs, and configuration settings.
3. Input/Output Channels
   • Digital Inputs: There are 8 digital input channels. These inputs can interface with common digital sensors such as proximity sensors, limit switches, and magnetic sensors. The input voltage range is 18 – 30V DC.
   • Digital Outputs: It features 4 digital output channels. Each output channel can handle a resistive load of up to 1.5A and an inductive load of up to 0.8A, suitable for controlling small – scale relays and solenoid valves.
   • Analog Inputs and Outputs: There are 2 analog input channels and 1 analog output channel. The analog inputs can accept signals in the range of 0 – 10V or 4 – 20mA for measuring parameters like temperature or pressure. The analog output can provide a corresponding control signal in the same range.
4. Communication Interface
   The F8627X supports the Modbus RTU communication protocol over an RS – 485 interface. The communication speed can reach up to 9600 bps, enabling seamless data exchange with other devices in an industrial network, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human – Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and data loggers.

Uses

1. Small – Scale Industrial Automation
   In small – scale manufacturing workshops, the F8627X can be used to control simple production processes. For example, it can monitor the presence of workpieces on a conveyor belt using digital inputs and control the operation of a small – scale processing machine via digital outputs.
2. Building Automation in Local Areas
   In local areas of commercial buildings, like individual rooms or small sections, it can manage basic building functions. It can be connected to door sensors and occupancy sensors to control the lighting or the operation of a single ventilation fan.
3. Agricultural Automation (Mini – Scale)
   In mini – scale agricultural facilities, such as a small greenhouse or a backyard irrigation system, it can monitor environmental parameters like soil moisture through analog inputs and control the operation of a small water pump via the analog output.

Weight and Dimensions

1. Weight
   The F8627X weighs approximately 0.6 – 0.9 kg, which is relatively light, facilitating easy installation and handling.
2. Dimensions
   It has a compact design with dimensions around 110mm (length) x 90mm (width) x 35mm (height). This allows it to be installed in standard control cabinets or on DIN rails without taking up much space.

Characteristics

3. Electrical Isolation
   It features electrical isolation between input/output channels and the power supply, which helps prevent electrical interference and protects the module and connected devices from damage.

Stability and Reliability

1. Robust Construction
   The F8627X has a durable housing that can withstand normal industrial vibrations, dust, and moderate temperature variations.
2. Fault Protection
   It is equipped with over – current and over – voltage protection circuits to safeguard against electrical faults, ensuring reliable operation over time.
3. Long – Term Testing
   The module has undergone long – term testing under various operating conditions to verify its stability and reliability, giving users confidence in its performance.

Actual Cases

1. Small – Scale Woodworking Shop
   In a small – scale woodworking shop, the F8627X was used to control a small table saw. It monitored the position of the wood on the table using a proximity sensor connected to a digital input. When the wood was in the correct position, the module sent a signal through a digital output to start the saw. This improved the safety and efficiency of the woodworking process.
2. Small Office Lighting Control
   In a small office, the F8627X was installed to control the lighting. It was connected to an occupancy sensor. When an employee entered the office, the occupancy sensor sent a signal to the digital input, and the F8627X turned on the lights via the digital output. When the office was unoccupied, the lights were turned off, resulting in energy savings.
