Configurable channels and universal configurations

When designing the Ambity Line series, we focused on three key aspects: performance, functionality and ease of deployment.

Each module has been designed with optimal selection of input/output types and quantities in mind. The configurability of individual channels allows you to flexibly adapt the set to the specific requirements of a given application. Examples of universal configurations, created for handling many signal types and enabling them to be tailored to diverse and changing needs, include models AL-IO-B.11 and AL-IO-C.31.

AL-IO-B.11

  • 4 analogue/digital inputs (each configurable as current, voltage or digital)
  • 2 analogue outputs (each configurable as current or voltage)
  • 2 digital outputs
  • Input ranges: 0–20 mA, 0–10 V, 0–24 V
  • Output ranges: 0–20 mA, 0–10 V and OC 100 mA

Ambity Line™ Config Tool

Configuration software for the modules

The modules are configured via Modbus registers. You can use any program for configuration or our Ambity Line Config Tool.

The software allows you to set Modbus communication parameters, configure the operating mode of each channel and its parameters, generating integration files for selected PLC environments and update the firmware.

Learn More

All models in the Ambity Line series are built on a common hardware platform, which allows us to optimise production and offer versatile, robust devices at competitive prices.

Easy installation and module interconnection

Ambity Line modules are interconnected by a simple system communication bus connector
(communication and power bus).

Just plug them one after another onto the DIN rail – no additional wiring is needed. Using the connector, the module is mounted on the DIN rail, linked with subsequent modules into sets and connected to the bus.
