Weintek Ethernet Remote IO Module
Product Introduction
Supporting Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP industrial Ethernet protocols, iR-ETN40R is an expandable Ethernet remote I/O module with 24 digital input channels (including 4 high-speed ones) and 16 relay output channels. It provides various unique features to support a highly efficient and cost-effective implementation of modern automated control systems.
Features
Compact many-in-one design
iR-ETN40R provides built-in support for MODBUS TCP Server and EtherNet/IP Adapter protocols and comes with 24 digital inputs and 16 relay outputs. Apart from the built-in I/O, the expandable design makes it possible to add additional digital, analog I/O, temperature modules, or pulse modules as required. Additionally, input and output connectors are of push-in type, which greatly simplify installation and wiring tasks.
High-speed inputs
iR-ETN40R offers 4 high-speed inputs for high-speed applications. These high-speed inputs can be configured for high-speed counter use (20 kHz, up to 4), or for A/B phase encoder use (10 kHz, up to 2 sets), depending on the application.
Exclusive features
Stop Output
RunStop Pin function of iR-ETN40R allows designation of an input as RunStop Input Point, and when it receives a signal, all outputs are stopped immediately. An example use case would be to associate a stop button with the input so that all outputs can be deactivated at once upon pressing of the stop button.
Pulse Capture
Pulse capture feature ensures that a high-speed pulse signal shorter than one scan cycle is held until the next scan cycle so that no pulse is missed.
Quick generation of description files
EasyRemoteIO software is used to connect to iR-ETN40R and then generate the description file needed for I/O configuration. These files can then be imported by other software to complete configuration with minimal effort. EasyRemoteIO can generate the following files:
(1) EasyBuilder Pro Tag File: for EasyBuilder Pro for programming Weintek HMI.
(2) PLCopen XML: for CODESYS.
(3) EDS File: for EtherNet/IP Scanner devices.
