In Action
You configure the buzzer and then test it. You may then tie the buzzer to alarms and other events that require the machine operator's attention. With PLC's and old-style I/O systems, you have to wire one of the buzzer wires to a power supply and then tie the other buzzer wire to the output module. Oh, and you have to then reference the output module to the power supply. That's a lot of wiring. With Soft-I/O, you merely pick two convenient pins and wire it up.
Technical Specifications
Each buzzer is connected to the Soft-I/O module with two wires—the Soft-I/O module supplies buzzer power, and that simplifies wiring.
Non-volatile, user-configurable parameters include: Soft-I/O module supplied 24 V or 5 V power selection; sourcing or sinking circuit configuration and state naming and Soft-I/O pin assignments.
