Remote I/O to Indusoft Scada

[martin1]

Hello all,

I have a question and hoping I can get some advice.

I have four 4 small remote pump stations that I need to send the status back for each pump back to the main treatment plant SCADA (Indusoft).

I need to send 4 digital signals from each pump station.

What would be the some cost efficient way of doing this?

I was thinking about an ADAM Digital I/O Modbus TCP Module along with a edge router but it seems overkill with such small I/O?

Thanks in advance.

why would you think that?

what is the distance between the remotes and the main plant? Do you have line of sight?

The ADAM products are straightforward and competitively priced. You could probably buy a cheaper product, but in my opinion the long market life and generally robust construction of the ADAM devices is worth a modest premium.

I recently used ADAM thermocouple modules with Modbus/TCP with Indusoft and it was very straightforward.

HI Martin

We have similar modules to Advantech but we also offer modules with lower IO counts in our TET series. For upto 6 DI per location, I would recommend our TET-P6.

This module accepts NPN and PNP inputs up to 50 VDC per channel.

Other combination of IO and IO types can be found here.
