Product short description:
  • 8-channel differential analog voltage input
  • Modbus TCP/IP, i2o peer-to-peer communication

These modules interface high-level analog input signals to an Ethernet network. A high-performance design ensures reliable measurements and dependable operation.

968EN: Ethernet Analog Input Module Description

968EN-4008: Industrial-grade units
968EN-4C08: Commercial-grade units

These modules interface high-level analog input signals to an Ethernet network. A high-performance design ensures reliable measurements and dependable operation.

Industrial-grade models add a configurable integrator/totalizer plus superior accuracy and temperature performance compared to the economical commercial-grade version.

Input Ranges: ±5V, ±10V DC (selectable on each channel).

Ethernet Communication: Modbus TCP/IP, 10/100Base-T(X), i2o peer-to-peer.

Power Requirement: 18 to 36V DC, 2.4W.

Approvals: CE, UL/cUL (industrial-grade units only) Zone 2, Class 1, Division 2, ABCD.

i2o Peer-to-Peer Messaging

With Acromag’s i2o technology, you can map each input channel to any output channel on a 97xEN-400x output unit. Select updates based on time or on a percent of range change (100mS or 0.1% resolution).
