New Low Cost RemoteTRAK® RTU / Combination I/O Module from SIXNET


SIXNET, Clifton Park, NY: The new RemoteTRAK® RTU / Combination I/O module (model RM-RTU-8440-F) combines a mix of I/O types (8 discrete inputs, 4 discrete outputs, 4 analog inputs) with a RS232/RS485 interface.

The RemoteTRAK® RTU is designed as an economical I/O solution for situations where you need: a low cost RTU at a remote site; to poll I/O or Modbus devices on a RS485 party line; or expand the number of channels on a SIXNET EtherTRAK node.

The RemoteTRAK® RTU supports Modbus ASCII, RTU, and the SIXNET protocol. It also supports radio packeting and phone links. This enables users to poll the RemoteTRAK® RTU with an industrial modem (such as SIXNET's VT-MODEM) or radio using SIXNET or Modbus protocol.

All SIXNET I/O is engineered to withstand the abuse of harsh industrial environments. The RM-RTU-8440-F is surge and vibration resistant, operates in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70°C, and is CE, UL, CSA, and Class 1, Division 2 (Zone 2) rated. The module also has Det Norske Veritas (DNV) No. 2.4 (Class A & B) certification for marine and offshore use. It is encased in rugged Lexan for added durability
