Description
Parameter Specifications
- Power Supply: The IOP351 typically operates on a 24V DC power supply. The power consumption is around 10 – 15W, designed to be energy – efficient for continuous operation in industrial environments.
- Input/Output Channels: It features 32 digital input channels and 16 digital output channels. The digital input channels can accept signals from various sensors such as proximity sensors, limit switches, and photoelectric sensors. The digital output channels can drive actuators like solenoid valves, relays, with a current – driving capacity of up to 0.5A per channel.
- Communication Interface: It is equipped with an Ethernet communication interface supporting a data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps. It adheres to the Modbus TCP protocol, enabling seamless integration with other devices in an industrial network for data exchange and remote monitoring.
- Operating Temperature Range: Designed to function within a temperature range of – 10°C to 50°C. This temperature tolerance allows it to be used in a wide variety of industrial environments with normal temperature variations.
Applications
- Industrial Automation: In manufacturing plants, the IOP351 can be used to control and monitor production lines. For example, it can manage the movement of conveyor belts based on the signals from sensors detecting the presence of products. It can also control the operation of robotic arms during the assembly process.
- Process Control: In chemical and pharmaceutical industries, it can regulate chemical processes. It monitors parameters such as valve status and pump operation through input channels and controls these devices via output channels to maintain optimal production conditions.
- Building Automation: In commercial buildings, it can be used for basic control tasks such as controlling the lighting system based on occupancy sensors or monitoring the status of door locks.
Weight and Dimensions
- Weight: Approximately 1 kg, which is relatively light and easy to handle during installation and maintenance.
- Dimensions: It has a compact design, with dimensions of about 160mm (length) x 130mm (width) x 60mm (height). This small size allows it to be easily installed in control boxes or other limited – space areas.
Features
- Ethernet Connectivity: The Ethernet communication interface with Modbus TCP support enables fast and reliable data transfer, facilitating real – time control and monitoring. It also allows for easy connection to a central control system or a network for remote access.
- High – density I/O: The large number of input and output channels provides high – density I/O capabilities, which is useful for applications that require monitoring and controlling multiple devices simultaneously.
- Cost – Effective: It offers a cost – effective solution for basic automation and control tasks, especially for small – to medium – scale applications.
Stability and Reliability
- Robust Construction: Built with high – quality components and a durable enclosure, it can withstand normal industrial vibrations, minor shocks, and dust.
- Electrical Isolation: It provides electrical isolation between input/output channels and the power supply, protecting the device from electrical interference and ensuring stable signal transmission.
- Long – term Testing: Through long – term testing, it has been proven to have a reliable performance over time, with a low failure rate.
Practical Case
In a small – scale food packaging factory, the IOP351 is used to control the packaging process. The digital input channels are connected to sensors that detect the presence of food products on the conveyor belt, the position of packaging materials, and the status of the sealing machine. When a product is detected in the correct position, the IOP351 sends a signal through the digital output channels to the packaging machine to start the packaging process and then to the sealing machine to seal the package. One day, there was a brief power outage in the factory. Thanks to the electrical isolation feature and the stable design of the IOP351, the device quickly resumed normal operation after the power was restored. The high – density I/O and cost – effective nature of the IOP351 ensured the continuous and efficient operation of the food packaging process.
