DA8

The SPLat DIN Family of controllers are an ideal solution for any job that needs a cheap programmable PLC inside a cabinet. Each product in the DIN Family is a fully programmable controller, so it can either be used by itself or wired up with other family members to get more I/O. Programming is done via a standard USB Mini-B cable and the IDE is completely free.

Use this controller alone, or join it to the DT16 with 16 I/Os or DR8 with 8 relays to get even more I/O capability.

The DA8 is a cheap and quick way to put analogue into a cabinet. With 8 Temperature/Current/Voltage selectable analogue inputs, 2 0-10V analogue outputs, 4 on-board digital inputs and a fully programmable controller, this may be all you need to get the job done.

The DA8 has the following features:

• Fully programmable SPLat controller with all the latest, relevant SPLat features.
• Network it with 2 wires to other DIN Family members for expanded I/O
• 8 --> 24 VDC operation, ~70mA maximum at 24 VDC
• 8 x analogue inputs (voltage or current or temperature)
• 2 x analogue outputs, 0 - 10V
• 4 x digital I/O lines, 800mA each as outputs
• RS485 interface. Use for MODBUS, Xwire or your own protocol
• USB programming port (mini B) (firmware V4.6 or later)
• TTL Xwire interface
• TTL serial interface
• Configurable DIP switches
• Connects to any SPLat controller with latest Xwire drivers
• Dimensions: 68mm x 118mm (2.7" x 4.65") in DIN holder
• Has mounting holes for DIN-less mounting
