Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DigiRail line of smart transmitters by Novus Electronics provides a straightforward solution for integrating analog or digital signals into supervisory systems using a Modbus RTU communication interface. These transmitters are designed to be cost-effective for delivering analog inputs to PLCs and SCADA systems, featuring up to two universal input analog signal channels. The input signals are isolated from power, which helps in eliminating ground loop effects and reducing interferences in sensor measurements.
Specifications and Models
The DigiRail transmitters come in three models based on input or output types:
  • DigiRail-1A and DigiRail-2A: 1 or 2 universal analog inputs.
  • DigiRail-4C: 4 digital counters.
  • DigiRail-2R: 2 timer relay outputs.
Key specifications include:
  • Analog inputs programmable for various thermocouples, Pt100, mV, V, mA.
  • Cold junction compensation for thermocouples and Pt100 3-wire cables.
  • Sampling rate: 10Hz for mV, V, mA; 5Hz for thermocouples and Pt100.
  • Analog input resolution: 17 bits.
  • Digital inputs activated by 4 to 35V, with a 5mA current limit.
  • Digital outputs: 8A / 250Vac SPDT relay.
  • Power requirements: 10 to 35Vdc, 50mA max current.
  • RS485 communication with Modbus RTU protocol.
  • Accuracy: ±0.15% for Pt100, mV, V, mA; ±0.25% for thermocouples.
  • Temperature effect: 0.003% of full scale/°C.
  • Isolation: 1000Vac from inputs and power/communication.
Configuration
Configuration is performed via the RS485 interface using Modbus RTU commands. The DigiConfig software facilitates the configuration, calibration, and diagnosis of all DigiRail features, automatically detecting active devices in the Modbus network.
Electrical Connections and Dimensions
The DigiRail transmitters are designed for easy installation on a 35mm DIN rail. The dimensions are 72 x 78 x 19mm. The document provides detailed block diagrams and connection instructions for each model.
Input Types and Ranges
The document includes a table listing the input types and their respective measuring ranges, which are user-configurable. Custom linearization is optional for these inputs.
