We have designed and developed generic card with 4 channel of individual ADCs to get better performance and 2 digital NPN outputs with Modbus-RTU protocol interface over RS485 to connect with HMIs and PLCs. It makes life easier to use this card in our customer’s industrial application to develop and integrate with their application.
We provide application customization as per customer need and provide in bulk quantity. For example, shown image of our product is getting used in our OEM customer’s application of fully Automatic Concrete Mixer Control panel. It supports dimension of panel rail mount.
We can also customize size and housing if required in quantity.
This card can be customized as per requirement of single or any multi channel ADC on a single card based on the production quantity
- 4 24-bits ADC channels with separate ADC chips
- 2 digital NPN outputs
- Two transistor output LEDs.
- Two Modbus LEDs: For activity on Rx, TX . Also shows any communication errors by having one LED continuously ON
- Eight loadcell LEDs: 1 if healthy and 0 for 0 voltage or any other issue
- First 8 Holding registers for 4 channel 24 bit Load cell data
- First 2 Coils for digital output
- Loadcell, temperature sensors, pressure gauge, current sensor, level sensor and many other 4 to 20mA supported sensors can be connected
- Card will continuously read 4 load cell 24 data and put in to first four holding registers
- Card will work as a Modbus slave device and get commands from PLC/HMI master
- In first two coils whatever data write command received from master, card will just write the same data to the respective Coil
- For any error or debugging, respective LEDs state can be verified

Key Applications
Industry 4.0
Industrial Automation uses Gateway to connect with devices and send data directly to the cloud, control, and monitor machines remotely using Cloud, Mobile, and Web applications.
Self Loading Concrete Mixer
Construction mixer like machines get big advantages to connect PLCs with Modbus and Control/Monitor whole machine from Cloud. Even it gives report of accuracy.
Retail
Smart retail devices like POS, price tags/smart shelves label can be build with the IoT gateway as a backbone to have quick performance and security.
