• Communication:
  • Protocol: Genius Bus (supports data rates up to 153.6 Kbaud).
  • Bus Interface: Parallel-serial conversion for compatibility with GE PLCs.
• Mechanical Specifications:
  • Dimensions: DIN rail-mounted, compact design.
  • Weight: Approximately 0.5 kg.
  • IP Rating: IP20 (dust protection).
• Environmental Adaptability:
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C.
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C.
  • Humidity: 5%–95% (non-condensing).

Key Features

• Isolation Design:
  • Dual isolated input groups prevent interference between channels, ensuring stable operation in noisy environments.
• High-Voltage Input Handling:
  • Supports 0–265 VAC signals, eliminating the need for external signal conditioners in most applications.
