Product Description
B&R input modules are essential components in industrial automation systems. These modules are designed to acquire various types of signals from sensors and transducers, converting them into digital data that can be processed by a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other automation devices. B&R offers a wide range of input modules to accommodate different applications, including digital, analog, and specialized input types.
Product Parameters
The specific parameters of a B&R input module vary depending on the model and application. However, common parameters include:
Input type: Digital (on/off), analog (voltage or current), special (e.g., thermocouple, RTD)
Number of channels: The number of individual inputs on the module
Signal range: The minimum and maximum input values that the module can handle
Resolution: The precision of the digital conversion
Sampling rate: The speed at which the module can acquire data
Isolation: The level of electrical isolation between the input channels and the module's power supply
Communication interface: The method used to connect the module to the PLC or other automation device
