Protocol Interface Module (PIM)
The PIM, is a PLC compatible EtherNet/IP™ to Orbit® 3 interface module, that enable easy connections between any EtherNet/IP™ enabled controller and Solartron’s flexible Orbit® 3 digital measurement system. The PIM makes it simple to interface a wide range of contact and non contact linear measurement sensors, rotary encoders, temperature and pressure sensors and discrete inputs and outputs via EtherNet/IP™. This stand alone, Din Rail mounted module provides one EtherNet/IP™ port and one Orbit® 3 port which can power up to ten sensors;. This can be extended up to a maximum of 150 sensors with the use of supplementary power modules.
Note 1: 24V output of DC PSIM will track the DC input.
Note 2: 24V current depends on external supply.
Note 3: The Aux AC PSIM only supplies 24V auxillary power for products that require additional 24V in addition to the standard 5V, these PSIMs do not power the Orbit® Network.
Note 4 : The country specific mains cable is supplied when ordering.
For use with multi-channel systems needing more power than available from the host computer. The power supply can also extend the network beyond the normal 10m per port limit depending on cable type. PSIM dimensions are identical to PIE plus T-Con, however the unit does not separate.
