Distributed automation and Telecontrol

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Z-PC Line is a modular and open remote I/O system designed for various field applications. It supports the Modbus RTU protocol, known for its simplicity and performance, allowing for easy installation and integration. The system can handle a wide range of I/O types, including digital, analog, and specialized inputs like strain gauges and thermocouples.
Specifications: The Z-PC Line offers high data concentration, supporting up to 24 digital or 8 analog signals. It features a modular backplane for DIN rail installation, available in multiple slot configurations. Modules are hot-swappable, ensuring no power or communication loss during replacements. The system supports RS485 serial interface for communication, with a maximum connection length of 1.2 km without repeaters.
Standards & Approvals: Z-PC modules provide 1.5 KVac isolation among power supply, input, and output, protecting against overvoltages and interferences. The system complies with various industry standards, ensuring reliability and safety.
Applications: The Z-PC Line is suitable for data acquisition, building automation, energy consumption monitoring, production control, marine automation, and more. It integrates IEC 61131 soft logic for flexible control and alarm management.
Data Acquisition & Control: The system supports data acquisition with tools like Data Recorder, which can handle 6 to 64 channels. It offers real-time data display and recording, compatible with LabVIEW and Visual Studio. Remote control capabilities are enhanced with integrated RTUs and standard protocols.
Communication Interfaces: The Z-PC Line supports various communication interfaces, including USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, and fieldbus options like Modbus and CANopen. It also offers radio transmission modules for cable replacement.
Configuration & Management: Configuration is user-friendly, with options for basic and advanced setups. The Z-NET3 software allows for comprehensive system configuration, including PLC and SCADA integration. EASY PC software facilitates real-time testing and configuration updates.
Additional Features: The system includes a Data Recorder for scalable data acquisition, supporting multiple connection types and offering advanced data visualization and analysis tools. It is designed for easy installation and operation, requiring no specialized training.
