Acromag’s Ethernet Remote I/O Modules Add Conditional Logic Computing PostedAugust 23, 2022 https://www.acromag.com/nt/ Ethernet expandable I/O modules can now process IF/THEN/ELSE logic for rule-based I/O operation. Acromag’s new BusWorks® NT series remote I/O modules are now enhanced with conditional logic. The conditional logic increases the functionality with a system of rules that allows extremely complicated decisions based on relatively simple “yes/no” questions. For example, reading an analog or digital input value can trigger an action to happen as a result. This value could be used to control a relay when one or more conditions occur. Another example would be when a discrete input is ON and a temperature threshold is crossed. More complex math computation and logic are also an option.Conditional logic is configured on the NT’s built-in web configuration page. No programming is required. The modules support up to 64 conditions using IF/THEN/ELSE statements. Posted byKaren Haldenwanger Read More Average Ratings
