Advantech Debuts Rugged and Cost Effective Remote I/O Module, DMU-5010

The new DMU-5010, Ethernet I/O module which supports the Modbus TCP protocol has been designed specifically for wind power equipment monitoring and general automation, has been toughened up and given even greater performance.

Now, with a cast iron casing and greater range of Digital input (DI) and Digital Output (DO) ports located at the front of the module it’s even easier to mount and wire the DMU-5010 on DIN-Rails or walls.

With support for daisy chaining, which makes it easy to use, it also has 8 x AI channels, 8 x DI channels and 4 x DI/DO channels. This flexibility ensures that the DMU-5010 can be connected to many different devices without the need to buy additional modules, thereby saving maintenance issues, additional costs and the need for a separate Ethernet switch.

Designed to work in the most extreme environments, the DMU-5010 will work in temperatures as low as -20°C and as high as 70°C, making it ideal for monitoring wind farms located in the wilderness.

With support for industrial Modbus/TCP protocol, the DMU can communicate with any Modbus such as PLC, IPC, UNO and WebAccess and so on. To aid system management, system engineers can quickly develop management tools using the Advantech Domain Focused Configuration Tool.

It is because of this comprehensive range of features, that the DMU-5010 is the most rugged and cost effective remote I/O module on the market.

Also available is the DMU-3010 which features a plastic shell and eight AI channels (Analog Input), eight DI channels and four DO channels.
