ADAE42U measuring module

ADAE42U? is a multifunctional device dedicated for sensor cooperation with both analogue output (voltage or current) as well as rotary or linear impulse converters with quadrature output.

Reading data

The device supports up to 4 sensors in an analog output, which can work in differential mode and up to two sensors with a quadrature output.

Communication

Additionally, the ADAE42U has 6 OC type transistor outputs with a configurable switch-on and switch-off threshold depending on the position of the respective encoder.

The module is equipped with two communication interfaces USB and RS485 (MODBUS-RTU). The first allows, in an intuitive way, device configuration and acquisition of measurements from a PC (the free application allows real-time recording of measured quantities, and also saves measurements to a file). The RS485 bus allows for simultaneous connection of many measurement modules and thus to collect data from more sensors than a single measurement module allows.

Thanks to the implementation of the simple and popular MODBUS-RTU protocol, the device can be used, for example, with a PLC or HMI panels.
