Channels

Active Signal

How long the channel will be active during the pulse mode.

Width

Range: 1-9999 x 100 ms

 

Default: 1 (100 ms)

Delay

When a deactivate command is issued, a delay is implemented before the

 

command is executed.

 

Range: 1-9999 x 100 ms

 

Default: 1 (100 ms)

Failsafe Action

When there has been no I/O activity within the specified time (set in the I/O

 

Interfaces, Settings on the Failsafe Timer tab) and the Failsafe Timer is

 

triggered.

 

Data Options:

 

z None—The state of the Digital/Relay output remains the same, no change.

 

z Activate Output—Activates the channel.

 

z Deactivate Output—Deactivates the channel.

 

Default: None

Digital I/O Extension

Overview

The Digital I/O extension feature connects a digital input signal to digital output(s)/relay(s) and/or a TCP/IP application over an IP network. Therefore, when the state of the digital input changes, you can also change the state of the digital output or relay channel or output serial signal pin on a local I/O channel(s), other IOLAN I/O channels, other IOLAN serial signal pins, or the data can be sent to an application(s).

For example, when the door opens (I/O digital input sensor) in a factory, a light goes on in the reception office (remote IOLAN relay channel), and the door open/close is logged by an application on a remote host.

This capability is invaluable for applications requiring real-time data transmission, such as remote monitoring and automated control systems. The DS1 model, on the other hand, is designed for single-port use, making it an ideal solution for smaller-scale operations or specific single-device connections.

Both the TS2 and DS1 incorporate advanced features such as configuration through a web interface, which simplifies setup and management. Users can easily access device settings and monitor performance metrics remotely, enhancing operational efficiency. These devices also support various network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network architectures.

In terms of security, Perle Systems prioritize user data protection. The TS2 and DS1 offer features including SSL encryption and SSH protection, providing an added layer of security for sensitive information transmitted over the network. This is particularly important for industries where data integrity and security are paramount, such as healthcare and finance.

Additionally, the rugged design of both devices ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments. With extended temperature ratings and robust housing, the TS2 and DS1 can operate in diverse conditions without compromising functionality.

To summarize, the Perle Systems TS2 and DS1 provide a reliable and flexible solution for connecting legacy serial devices to modern networks. With their support for multiple serial protocols, web-based management, robust security features, and rugged design, these devices cater to a variety of industries looking to modernize their communication infrastructure while maintaining existing equipment. Whether for large-scale operations or smaller implementations, the TS2 and DS1 equip businesses with the tools needed for effective serial communication in an IP-driven world.
