Add Modbus RTU RS-485 serial communication to AFCM and IAMS products

Signal Conditioner Detachable Communications Module

Item number PGMMODC1

The Signal Conditioner Detachable Communications Module converts a wide array of sensors and analog device signals measured by the device to a Modbus communication line signal. Modbus RTU protocol is supported using a serial RS-485 communication wiring.


Features and benefits

  • Modbus RTU protocol interface over RS-485

    Modbus RTU protocol is supported using a serial RS-485 communication wiring. Modbus parameters such as address, baud rate, stop bit(s), and parity bit are configured from the display, which also stores parameters.

  • Convert signals to Modbus network

    Convert uni- and bipolar mA and voltage signals, potentiometer, Lin. R, RTD and TC signals to a Modbus communication signal. Any signal coming from or going to I.S. classified area—AI, AO, DI and DO—can be converted to a Modbus network.

  • Easy to read display

    Dot matrix LCD display. The display can be rotated 180° from the menu for upside-down installation. Scrolling help available in 7 languages.

  • Simple operation

    Display can be used to read the process signal, simulate the output signal, indicate sensor errors and internal module errors. All individual unit operating parameters can easily and quickly be configured by using the Modbus communication or by using the front display menu.

  • Full PGM functionality

    Unit programming, process signal monitoring and diagnostics handling

  • Versatility on demand

    The PGMMOD01 can be moved from one device to another. The individual system IAMS/AFCM device configuration of a transmitter can be saved and downloaded to subsequent transmitters.

  • Advanced features

    Programming access can be blocked by assigning a password that is saved in the device to ensure a high degree of protection against unauthorized modifications to the configuration.

  • Fully isolated

    High safe galvanic isolation of 2.5 kVAC between the serial wiring and the connected system IAMS/AFCM units. Multidrop half-duplex connection via shielded RJ45 connector.

  • Designed for harsh environments

    Engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in demanding environments.

  • Industry certified

    UL-listed approval. FM-approved for installation in Division 2 hazardous locations.
