Description

UFC760BE1142

1. Technical Specifications

• Power Supply: The UFC760BE1142 typically operates on a 120/240V AC power supply with a frequency range of 50/60Hz. It has a relatively low power consumption, around 15 – 20W, ensuring energy – efficient operation.
• Input/Output Configuration:
  • Digital Inputs: It is equipped with 10 digital inputs. These inputs can receive signals from digital sensors such as proximity sensors, limit switches, and opto – isolators. They can handle input voltages in the range of 5 – 24V DC.
  • Digital Outputs: There are 6 digital outputs. Each output can drive a load with a maximum current of 0.5A, suitable for controlling small relays, LED indicators, and other low – power devices.
  • Analog Inputs: There are 2 analog inputs. They can accept signals in the ranges of 0 – 10V or 4 – 20mA, with a 10 – bit resolution, allowing for basic measurement of analog quantities like temperature or pressure.
  • Analog Outputs: 1 analog output is available, capable of outputting signals in the same ranges as the analog inputs, for simple analog control tasks.
• Processing Speed: The response time for digital input changes is less than 15ms, and for analog input changes, it is approximately 20ms. This provides a reasonable reaction time to changes in the monitored system.
• Communication Interfaces: It supports an RS – 485 serial communication interface with the Modbus RTU protocol, enabling data exchange with other Modbus – compatible devices and control systems.

2. Applications

• Industrial Automation: In small – scale industrial automation, it can be used to control and monitor basic production processes. For example, it can manage the operation of a single machine tool, control the movement of a small conveyor, or monitor the status of a few sensors on a production line.
• Building Automation: In commercial buildings, it can be involved in basic building management tasks. It can control the operation of a single HVAC unit in a small room, the switching of a few lights in a specific area, or the opening and closing of a small – scale access door.
• Agricultural Automation: In agricultural settings, it can be used to control and monitor simple irrigation systems. It can detect soil moisture levels through analog sensors and control the operation of water pumps via digital outputs.

3. Weight and Dimensions

• Weight: The module weighs about 0.3 kg, which is relatively light and easy to install and handle.
• Dimensions: The overall dimensions are: length – 100mm, width – 80mm, height – 25mm. Its compact size allows for installation in tight spaces, such as inside small control cabinets or on equipment panels.

4. Features

• Modbus Communication: The support for the Modbus RTU protocol on the RS – 485 interface makes it easy to integrate with other industrial devices and control systems, facilitating system expansion and data sharing.
• Flexible Input/Output Configuration: With a combination of digital and analog inputs and outputs, it can be applied in a variety of scenarios, allowing for customized control and monitoring solutions.
• User – Friendly Setup: It has a simple and intuitive configuration process, which allows users to quickly set up the module according to their specific requirements.

5. Stability and Reliability

• Robust Construction: The module is housed in a durable plastic enclosure that provides protection against dust, moisture, and minor mechanical vibrations. This ensures stable operation in normal industrial and non – industrial environments.
• Fault – Tolerant Design: It is designed with built – in protection mechanisms such as over – current protection and short – circuit protection for the digital outputs. These features safeguard the module from electrical faults and extend its service life.
• Quality Components: The use of high – quality electronic components and strict quality control during manufacturing ensure long – term reliability and consistent performance.

6. Real – world Examples

• Small – Scale Woodworking Shop: In a small – scale woodworking shop, the UFC760BE1142 can control the operation of a table saw. It can detect the presence of a workpiece using a proximity sensor connected to a digital input and control the power supply to the saw motor via a digital output.
• Residential Greenhouse: In a residential greenhouse, it can be used to control the ventilation system. It can measure the temperature inside the greenhouse through an analog sensor and control the operation of fans via digital outputs to maintain a suitable temperature for plant growth.
