- Analog Inputs: Six inputs configurable for various sensor types, including temperature probes and current/voltage signals.
- Digital Inputs: Eight low-voltage inputs, with one acting as a pulse counter.
- Digital Outputs: High voltage outputs (relays) and SSR outputs, depending on the model.
- Analog Outputs: Five SELV outputs configurable for current/voltage output.
- All models feature a 4-position DIP switch for serial addressing.
- EVC models and EVE modules include additional 6- and 10-position DIP switches for baud rate and protocol selection.
- Parameters can be configured via the EVD front panel, remote EVK panel, or PC using Free Studio software.
- Parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and categorized for detailed configuration.
- Modbus Register Address: Indicates the address for accessing resources.
- Device Reboot Requirement: Specifies if a reboot is needed after parameter modification (Y=Yes, N=No).
- Resource Access: Defines if resources are read-only (R), write-only (W), or read/write (RW).
- Data Size: Indicates the size of data in bits.
- Value Conversion: Describes conversion for signed numbers when the field indicates "-1".
- Parameter Range: Specifies the interval of assignable values.
- Factory Settings: Provides default settings for standard models.
- Input Types: Various input types such as NTC, DI, 4-20mA, and 0-10V are supported.
- Output Types: Options for analogue outputs include 4-20mA and 0-10V configurations.
