APB-EXPMC Remote Communications (Modbus) cable for the Array APB Series Micro-controllers.

This module is used to interface APB series PLCs with remote devices such as an HMI. The combination of APB PLC and APB communication module also allows networking of multiple APBs via an RS-485 bus. This enables real-time monitoring many APB PLCs by one HMI using the standard MODBUS communication protocol. This provides the user will greater flexibility when designing an automation solution.

Technical Parameters

Indicators

• APB-EXPMC has 2 indicators.
  • Consistent ON: indicates it is in power on state;
  • Flashing: indicates DTU stays in normal communication state;
• APB-M: Indicates APB is communicating with main machine;
• APB-E: Indicates APB is communicating with expansion module;
