MK210 Input and Output Modules (DI/O, Modbus TCP, Ethernet)

The MK210 DI/O series from akYtec presents a dynamic range of digital I/O modules designed for efficient and reliable performance in decentralized automation systems. These modules are adept at handling a variety of industrial applications, offering a mix of digital inputs and outputs along with advanced communication features, and provide reliable communication using the Modbus TCP protocol through Ethernet interfaces.

Key Features of the MK210 Series:

• Flexible Input/Output Configuration: The MK210 modules are available with 6 or 12 digital inputs, configured as switch contacts and NPN, and 8 or 4 digital outputs (relay). This range of inputs and outputs caters to diverse control and monitoring needs.
• Efficient Communication Interface: Equipped with an Ethernet port and Modbus TCP support, these modules ensure seamless communication of input and output data to controllers, facilitating easy integration into network systems.
• Power-Efficient Design: The digital inputs do not require a separate power supply, enhancing the module's efficiency and reducing overall system power requirements.
• Load Break Alarm: This feature provides critical alerts in case of load disconnections, enhancing system safety and reliability.
• Advanced Networking Capabilities: With two bypass-capable Ethernet ports and support for daisy-chain wiring, the modules are designed for easy and expandable network configurations. The support for protocols such as Modbus TCP, MQTT, SNMP, and SNTP, enables versatile networking and control options.
• Reliable Data Management: Capable of simultaneous communication with up to 4 TCP clients and equipped with LEDs for network status diagnostics, the MK210 ensures robust and reliable network management.
• Data Logging and Time Management: Support for data logging and a built-in real-time clock are essential for tracking and managing operations over time, especially in processes where time-stamped data is crucial.
• User-Friendly Configuration: The availability of a free-of-charge configurator simplifies the setup process, and synchronous configuration updates for two or more modules enhance system consistency and maintenance.
• Networking Resilience: The support for Ethernet auto-bypass in the daisy-chain setup prevents loss of communication in the event of a module shutdown, thereby maintaining network integrity.
• Wide Operating Range: The modules require a 24V DC input power and are capable of operating in extreme temperature ranges from -40 to +55 °C, ensuring dependable performance under various environmental conditions.
