Discrete Input Interface

N/Aiscrete Input Interface accepts inputs from photoelectric eyes, limit switches, proximity sensors, PLC I/O blocks, relays, push buttons, contact closures or any discrete BCD, binary or up/down counting device or sensor. Users create and download custom messages into Alpha marquees using the Alpha handheld remote or Messaging Software. The interface then triggers the appropriate message when the corresponding input on the interface is closed.

The device can be configured to accept inputs in several formats, including Discrete, BCD or Binary formats. It can also be configured as a counter. The discrete, binary and BCD inputs trigger change-of-status programmed messages to run on marquees. The up/down counter sends counts, which can be displayed on the marquee alone or incorporated into pre-programmed messages such as "Parts Count=1237." The interface connects to as many as 32 contact in blocks of eight inputs. It mounts on a standard 35-mm DIN rail and is connected to power, contacts and RS-485 serial communications to the marquees.
