The TS161 I/O structure may be further expanded to the following: Several expander units for the TS161 are available. Each expander module is equipped with its own processor allowing dynamic data capture and processing with transmission limited to change of state transmission. This ensures that the TS161 speed is not compromised/affected by the number of expander modules installed. To elaborate further, each of the expansion modules is equipped with a PIC microprocessor. Only once the Input/Output structures of the expander card have been processed fully is this information passed through to the main CPU module for further processing. This leaves more computing power for the main CPU enabling it to perform other control functions such as flood control, dam gate control etc. Furthermore the expansion modules may be placed remotely from the main CPU module and may communicate via an RS485, Fibre -Optic bus or wireless link effectively achieving a distributed I/O configuration, thereby minimizing I/O cabling costs.

A user interface that allows the display of the current binary input states, the current binary output states, serial communications activity and modem status to be displayed via a series of LEDS.

Prodesign's OPC server for Windows enables communications between the TS161 and any OPC client. Thus communications with most standard SCADA packages without the need for development of specific device driver s.

Logging CapabilitiesRecords Up to 20 000 individually time

stamped recordsPeriods Logging periods are set per

channel.Logs can be taken at up to 12 set times e.g. 13H15, at consecutive intervals, at change of state (alarm limits) or % variation of the input.

All log parameters are configurable in HH:MM:SS

Onboard I/OBinary Inputs 8 Digital Inputs.

Analog Inputs 8 Differential Analog Inputs with 12 bit Resolution.

Counter Inputs Up to 4 binary inputs may be used as counters. The counts are stored in 32-bit internal registers that are saved periodically into EEPROM to prevent counter loss. Furthermore, Prodesign Offers an External Counter Module.

Binary Outputs 8 Open-collector Digital Outputs.

ProgrammabilityBinary inputs Tag names, Isolation status, Alarm

type information and Debounce timers.

Analog Inputs /

Outputs &

Counter Inputs

Tag names, Isolation status, Alarm type information, Logging Parameters [e.g. frequency and change in value], high & low alarm points, scaling information [allows an operator to view the Analog input in engineering units] and noise filtering parameters.

Binary outputs Tag name, Isolation status, Pulse and Flash Rate timers.

Serial InterfacesThere are five serial ports:

One port is dedicated to communications (modem

or serial) usage. The following modems are

interchangeable: Telephone Modem (with

continuous availability), Radio Modem & Serial

Device Interface that may be used for

SMS/GSM/GPRSmodems, high speed data radio

A further port is dedicated for the use of a PD1 panel diagnostic interface and the expansion card bus.Another two ports can be used to communicate with PLC drivers for Siemens , Klockner Moeller PS3 & PS4, PLC Direct and any MODBUS compliant PLC or a Secondary Communication Device.The last port is used for printing reports to printers or laptops etc.

A variation of up to 12 expander modules may be attached, via a RS485 communication cable cable, to the main TS161
