Data concentrator with 32 digital inputs and Modbus RTU communication
Cost-effective industrial solution for reading out the data of consumption metering devices (e.g. water, gas, electricity meters) equipped with contact or pulse output line.
Furthermore, the concentrator can connect to any kind of measurement devices, PLCs, controlling machines, data collection system, automata or a network analyzer.
The device is capable of collecting and storing data of up to 32 endpoint devices through the input lines.
The M2M Modem Plus IO® device is connected through the RS485 port to read out the input values with Modbus RTU protocol.
