DRT2-ID16/OD16

A threshold value can be set in the Slave so that a flag turns ON

when this value is exceeded. (This is possible with both the con-

tact operation counter function and the energized time monitor

function.) This makes it possible to identify when parts approach

the end of their service life, and provides useful data for preventive

maintenance.

■ Unit Comment/Connected Slaves

Function

Identification of fault locations and confirmation of replace-

ment parts can be performed quickly.

Unit Command Function

Setting the location in the Slave’s internal comments means that

the Slave can be detected from the Configurator.

Connected Devices Comment Function

By setting the maker name and model number for each contact

(e.g., sensors and valves), comments can be set for each of the

input and output contacts in the Slaves.

Confirmation and preparation of replacement parts when failures

occur can be performed quickly.

All of this data can be handled as electronic data and can therefore

be used, for example, to create electronic manuals or databases of

maintenance parts.

■ Network Startup

Networks can be started up simply by making rotary switch

settings and connecting network cables.

Easy Node Address Setting

Node addresses are set with easy-to-use rotary switches.

Automatic Baud Rate Recognition Function

The automatic baud rate recognition function eliminates the need

for DIP switches.

No Wiring Required for Unit’s Internal Circuit Power

Supply

Power for the Unit’s internal circuits is obtained from the network

power and so no wiring is required for the Unit’s internal circuit

power supply.
