General Description

The DAT3148/12 is a Modbus RTU/ASCII digital input module capable of acquiring up to 12 digital inputs. The data are transmitted over the RS-485 network, enabling easy integration into PLCs, SCADA systems, and other Modbus master devices.

The module ensures high accuracy and stable performance over time and across temperature variations. For plant safety, it provides two Watchdog timer alarms. Galvanic isolation between circuit parts eliminates ground-loop effects, allowing reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions.

The DAT3148/12 complies with UL 61010-1 for the US market and CSA C22.2 No 61010-1 for the Canadian market. It is housed in a rugged, self-extinguishing plastic container with a slim profile of 17.5 mm, allowing high-density mounting on EN-50022 standard DIN rails.

Communication Protocols

The DAT3148/12 communicates via the Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol, a widely used standard in field-bus systems. This ensures compatibility with most PLCs, SCADA systems, and Modbus-based applications. Detailed protocol instructions are available in the device User Guide.
