Product Introduction
In early 2018, We released a high efficiency control solution: HMI+CODESYS+I/O Module, which has received positive feedback from customers. To make it a more viable solution for diverse industrial applications, we have developed the new iR Series module products: Analog I/O modules and Temperature modules. With these modules, users can capture analog signals (voltage, current, temperature), compute with HMI or controllers, and then output signals to control other units in the system. By providing a suite of useful features which works with minimal settings, The iR Series can take care of the complex jobs that used to require PLC programming, and as a result can help save considerable amount of development time.

iR Series Analog Modules come in four models designed for different needs.
iR-AI04-VI Analog Input (4 channels)
iR-AQ04-VI Analog Output (4 channels)
iR-AM06-VI Analog Input (4 channels)+Analog Output (2 channels)
iR-AI04-TR Temperature Input (4 channels)
Features

Analog Input Modules

Configurable Channel Mode
  • Each channel may be configured for input voltage or current mode (-10~+10V, -5V~+5V, 1~5V, -20~20mA, 4~20mA) for different applications.
User-Defined Conversion Rate
  • Built-in digital-to-analog conversion with user-defined range eliminates the need for writing complex conversion programs in a PLC.
Input Filter
  • The built-in filter enhances signal precision to achieve better control.
Disconnection Detection
  • In 1-5V / 4-20mA mode, a channel alarm will be generated when input disconnection is detected.
Fast Conversion Mode
  • The conversion time per channel is 2ms. In fast conversion mode, where only one channel is used, the conversion time can be reduced to 500us.
Input Filter
  • The built-in filter enhances signal precision to achieve better control.
Disconnection Detection
  • In 1-5V / 4-20mA mode, a channel alarm will be generated when input disconnection is detected.

Case: Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor
Since water is never completely still, the detected value of water level can be very unstable and often result in false alarm or unwanted operation. Utilizing the filter function and fast conversion mode, the analog input module can provide stable analog values fast. The built-in analog-to-digital conversion can quickly provide digital values converted from the analog signal. The disconnection detection function can generate alarms when disconnection is detected, for the on-site personnel to investigate the situation.
Analog Output Modules

Configurable Channel Mode
  • Each channel may be configured for input voltage or current mode (-10~+10V, -5V~+5V, 1~5V, -20~20mA, 4~20mA) for different applications.
User-Defined Conversion Rate
  • Built-in digital-to-analog conversion with user-defined range eliminates the need for writing complex conversion programs in a PLC.
Linear Output (Soft-Start)
  • Adjustable soft-start function allows gradual increase or decrease of output to reduce potential system impact.
Voltage Short Circuit & Current Open Circuit Protection
  • The module will generate an alarm and stop output when voltage output short circuit or current output open circuit is detected.

Case: Pressure Control
In a constant pressure system that maintains stable water pressure, Analog Input Modules are used to collect data from pressure sensors. The system, having made calculation with input data, then delivers the output signal by Analog Output Modules to an inverter to control the speed of the pump. Meanwhile, the linear output (soft-start) function can adjust the slew rate of the signal output to prevent water hammer problems, effectively extending the system lifespan.
Temperatur Input Modules

Supports most of the Thermocouple and RTD on the market.
  • Thermocouple: J,K,R,S,T,E,N,B,C,L,U,TXK/XK(L),TBP/BP(A-1),TBP/BP(A-2),TBP/BP(A-3),M
  • RTD: PT100, PT1000, LG-N1000, Ni100, Ni1000, Cu50, Cu100
  • Voltage: ±2V, ±1V, ±0.5V, ±0.25V, ±125mV
  • Resistance: 0-3000Ω、0-300Ω
User-Defined Temperature Table
  • Apart from the temperature tables for common Thermocouple and RTD, users can defined their own temperature reference tables so that even when the sensor type is not in the built-in list, the user can still define a corresponding temperature table and use the temperature module to collect temperature values from the sensors.
Input Filter
  • The built-in filter enhances the signal quality to achieve better control.
Disconnection Detection
  • A channel alarm will be generated when input sensor disconnection is detected.

Case: Air Conditioning
In an air conditioning system, temperature modules can be used to detect the ambient temperature. The detected value is used by the PID controller of a PLC, which calculates and produces the desired output via an Analog Output Module to the inverter and the compressor to maintain a stable indoor temperature. The built-in digital filter can stabilize temperature readings, and the temperature module can generate a disconnection alarm when a disconnection occurs for the onsite personnel to handle the situation.
