FlexE 31X Series

Expansion I/O Module
Overview
The FlexE Expansion I/O Module provides expandable
analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs, and digital
outputs capabilities for any controllers with Modbus protocol.
The FlexE 31X series of I/O modules communicate with
the master controller over RS485 and CAN networks. With
different combinations of these modules, a wide variety of
cost-effective distributed monitoring and control solutions
can be implemented.

Features

High performance 32-bit CPU with embedded real-time

operating system (RTOS)

Compatible with any other devices supporting Modbus

protocol

Wide operating temperature range, well suited for harsh

environment applications: -40 +70

Industry-standard design, using DIN rail for mounting,

easy to install on-site

The FlexE Expansion I/O modules can not only be

RS485

3Be Connected to Computer Systems as Remote I/O

Worked as remote I/O, the FlexE Expansion I/O

Monitoring Computer

modules can be integrated into any computer systems

through RS485. There is no need to deploy a local
controller for your SCADA system, which can save the
total system cost.
