R400 Series-1

R400 Series – Data Sheets Trade approved Australia, Europe and USA IP65 ABS or stainless steel housing The R400 series of indicators are designed with both the installer and operator in mind and cover a wide range of applications. They are engineered and built to last with reliability being foremost. The modular design allows for the installation to be commissioned with only the components required, saving on time and money. With upwards of nine (9) versions of firmware available the R400 indicator is an ideal for distributors dealers and distributors as it simplifies installer training and reducing stocking levels. Flexibility is the key with its award winning modular accessory design. Modules include: additional serial options, input/outputs, analogue outputs, external buttons, Ethernet, Alibi (Data Storage Device) and battery or AC option. Superior housings - two housing types are available: Robust precise analogue R423 (stainless steel) rated to IP66 output module Both housings are designed with extra attention to detail to increase their reliability in the field, thereby reducing unplanned downtime and servicing costs. For example, the R423 uses a high impact polycarbonate lens to protect the LCD from knocks. Simple setup - use the menu system directly via the alpha numeric keypad or the configuration utility View400 on a PC. Operator friendly - large multi-segment display that uses logical prompts along with dedicated and programmable function keys. Printing can be tailored with custom record, docket or reports printouts. Primary display is 29mm (1.1”) and secondary display 18mm. Rugged Load Cell Input - Designed to take 16x320 ohm load cells; providing flexibility and reducing the need for summing hardware, simplifying the installation and saving money. The load cell input is protected with onboard transorbs to limit damage from external voltage surges. Networking Capability - Support for both Ethernet and Profibus DP to improve integration into larger control systems Modules The R400 Series flexibility is provided through its broad range of modules that are easy to configure and neatly connect into the rear of the indicator. There are 4 module slots where an indicator can be equipped with only the features required for a given installation. Robust Input/Output Modules (M4301, M4311, M4321, M4331) An R400 indicator can be equipped with up to 32 I/O. These I/O are electrically isolated, designed for direct connection into PLC’s and are capable of driving low voltage actuators directly. • • Each module has 8 digital I/O ports which are limited to maximum input voltage of 30V and can drive up to 400mA. Direct connection between I/O points is supported Isolated high side (400mA current source) drivers are capable of driving low voltage actuators directly or can be connected directly with PLC controllers. Inputs are isolated to resist against system noise.
