2. Module Features 2.1. Purpose and description of the module SDM-8AI module allows measurement of voltages and currents. Values are read via RS485 (Modbus), so we can easily integrate the module with popular PLCs, HMI or PC equipped with the appropriate adapter.
SDM-8AI User Manual 2.2. Technical Specifications Voltage 10-30 VDC; 10-28VAC DC: 52 mA @ 24VDC Power Supply Maximum Current AC: 62 mA @ 24VAC Maximum power consumption DC: 1,25W; AC: 1,5VA No of inputs Voltage input 0V do 10V (resolution 1.5mV) Voltage input -10V do 10V (resolution 1.5mV)
SDM-8AI User Manual 2.3. Dimensions of the product Look and dimensions of the module are shown below. The module is mounted directly to the rail in the DIN industry standard. Power connectors, communication and IOs are at the bottom and top of the module. USB connector configuration and indicators located on the front of the module.
SDM-8AI User Manual 3. Communication configuration 3.1. Grounding and shielding In most cases, IO modules will be installed in an enclosure along with other devices which generate electromagnetic radiation. Examples of these devices are relays and contactors, transformers, motor controllers etc. This electromagnetic radiation can induce electrical noise into both power and signal lines, as well as direct radiation into the module causing negative effects on the system.
