Brief Description of the Module
The BMXERT1604T/H module features all the characteristics of a regular 16-channel discrete input module. In addition, the BMXERT1604T/H module has a time stamping function which records the change (rising or falling edge) of each input channel. To ensure the precision of time stamps, the module is able to receive time codes from a GPS, or DCF77 receiver.
The time synchronization of the BMXERT1604T/H module with SV>=2.0 (associated with BMXERT1604.2 in the Control Expert device catalog) can also be done through the CPU or CRA via X Bus to address for example these specific cases when:
-
GPS signal is not able to reach like applications underground.
-
No extra GPS wiring on module terminal block is preferred.
-
Unsupported time signal format like modulated IRIG-B is required.
The 16-channels discrete input can also be used as counter inputs; the counters feature increasing counting with the clear function.
The BMXERT1604T/H module inputs are compatible with the following rated voltages: 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 60 Vdc, 110 Vdc, and 125 Vdc. The inputs use positive (sink) logic.
