EEV Extension 422

EEV-EXT-422-RTU

Add control and measurement points to an installation driven by a PLC, a SCADA system or an EEV controller. The module connects as a slave on a Modbus RTU (RS-485) bus and mounts on a DIN rail, inside a cabinet.

What the module adds

4

relay outputs

SPDT dry-contact changeover — NC / COM / NO terminals, 3 A at 250 V AC, with a fallback state configurable per output.

2

analogue inputs

RTD1 for PT100 / PT1000 probes, thermistors and potentiometers; AIN2 for 0-10 V, 4-20 mA and 0-5 V ratiometric.

2

digital inputs

Universal 10 to 30 V, polarity independent, as on/off, 32-bit pulse counter or frequency meter.

4

direct commands

The CMD inputs drive the relay outputs without going through the bus, and keep working when the master is down.

Key point

Two independent control paths

Each relay output can be driven by the bus and by a contact wired to the front panel. The priority rule between the two — the arbitration — is configured output by output.

Modbus bus

The master — PLC, SCADA system, controller — writes the desired output state. This is the normal operating path, with logging and remote control.

Direct command input (CMD)

A dry contact acts directly on the matching output. This path keeps working even with the bus cut or the master down: local button, safety pressure switch, manual override.

Use cases

🧩

PLC expansion

Add four power outputs and four measurements to a PLC whose I/O cards are full.

🔌

Remote I/O

Put the control and measurement points close to the process, and run only a twisted pair back to the master.

🌡️

Temperature control

A PT100 probe on RTD1, a heating element on a relay, and a local loop that survives the loss of the bus.

🔢

Metering

Count the pulses of a water or energy meter and report them to the master.

This module is a wired fieldbus device: it has no mobile app, no radio connectivity and no online service, and therefore requires no subscription. It must be installed exclusively in a closed electrical cabinet or enclosure, by qualified personnel — read the user manual before any work.
