Ascent Ascent Ascent Ascent I/O I/O I/O I/O Modules in a SCADA Modules in a SCADA Modules in a SCADA Modules in a SCADA or DCS or DCS or DCS or DCS SystemSystemSystemSystem

Ascent I/O modules have independent Ethernet, Serial (RS-232 and RS-485) and internal radio (option) communications ports. The ports may be used simultaneously. For example, a local Modbus HMI terminal can be connected locally to an I/O module to show levels and flows on the door of the panel housing an Ascent module, while an HMI computer or PLC is talking to the Ascent module over an Ethernet or wireless link. To extend the effective range of a wireless network, Ascent modules can act as intelligent repeaters, using either the internal radios, or external radios connected to the serial port.

Ascent modules can also bridge communications between ports. In the diagram above, an HMI computer or SCADA PLC can talk to Modbus (serial) I/O modules via an Ethernet or wireless connection, or both, saving the cost of additional radios. Bridging is supported from Ethernet to serial, Ethernet to wireless, and serial to wireless.

Ascent I/O Combo and DIO modules can also be used in a peer-to-peer or “mirror-mode” configuration where 1 to 8 modules pass I/O information to a single Ascent module. Analog and Discrete inputs are “repeated” or mirrored as Analog and Discrete Outputs in both directions (2-way). In addition to I/O levels, all tag names, units, etc. as well as associated totalizer, rate and runtime measurements are available for display on the local LCD HMIs or by communications at either ends of the links. Mirroring works over Ethernet, the Internet, a wireless link, or via external modems or radios connected to the Ascent module serial ports.

ComboComboComboCombo Ascent ComboAscent ComboAscent ComboAscent Combo – a symmetrical mixture of analog and discrete I/O; ideal for peer-to-peer mirrored I/O as well as distributed I/O applications. In addition, the Ascent Combo module has setpoint control, duplex pump control and alarming capabilities, and the Universal Inputs may be internally “routed” to the analog outputs to function as up to 8 configurable signal conditioners/transmitters. 8 Un8 Un8 Un8 Universal Iiversal Iiversal Iiversal Inputsnputsnputsnputs are individually “soft” configurable through the built-in LCD or web page HMI; no switches or jumpers. Each input accepts standard process signals (mA, mV or V), measures resistance, and reads thermocouples, thermistors or RTD temperature sensors. Conversion speed and averaging are configurable on every input to optimize response times and noise rejection. Each input can be scaled to engineering units. 8 Analog Outputs8 Analog Outputs8 Analog Outputs8 Analog Outputs provide high-resolution 20mA outputs, or provide a voltage output when used with an external resistor. An internal 24v loop supply is independent of the supply voltage. 10 Discrete Inputs10 Discrete Inputs10 Discrete Inputs10 Discrete Inputs – rugged optically isolated inputs available in 12-24v or 120-240v configurations. Each input includes its own non-volatile 32-bit totalizers and runtime accumulators, for keeping track of total flow or machine cycles, and motor and pump runtimes. In addition, pulse rates are calculated on each input, either by measuring the number of pulses over time period, or measuring the interval between pulses (Rate = 1/Time). The method used depends on the input frequency range and the desired update rate and measurement resolution. All measurements can be scaled to engineering, offloading calculations from a host PLC. This provides a meaningful user friendly display on the local LCD HMI and built-in web page HMI. 10 Discrete Outputs10 Discrete Outputs10 Discrete Outputs10 Discrete Outputs provide relay dry contacts with programmable flashing, precision one-shot pulse and PWM control.

Each input may be configured to accept standard process signals (mA, mV or V), resistance, or thermocouple, thermistor or RTD temperature sensor. Conversion speed and built-in box car averaging are also configurable by channel in order to optimize response times and noise rejection. This also helps to offload processing overhead from PLC or DCS systems. Each group of eight inputs can be sampled up to 4000 times per second for an aggregate maximum sampling rate of 16,000 readings per second across all 32 inputs! The high conversion speed combined with a high-speed Ethernet interface makes these modules ideal for large distributed control and monitoring systems. The ability to “talk” multiple industry standard protocols makes these modules a low-cost alternative to expensive PLC and DCS system analog input modules.

The flashing function provides a synchronized flash output whose time period is programmable, but common to all flashing outputs. This is used primarily to operate flashing alarm indicators. Every output also supports a one-shot pulse function; each time the channel is activated, the output turns on for a precision length of time, and then turns off automatically. This type of operation is frequently used with motorized actuators to move them a prescribed distance, independent of communications latency. The outputs also support PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) operation, where the output toggles on and off for a precision period of time, and where each channels on and off time can be set independently. This operation is used for heater and metering pump controls, frequently as part of some closed loop control system. Ascent DIO 22/22 Input/Output Module Specifications
