Analog I/O module Orion I/O™

RJ45automation16-I/O

NovaTech Orion I/O™ is an extension of the family of Orion Automation Platforms for substation automation and incorporates the same security features, software tools, and NCD configuration as the OrionLX+, OrionLXm, OrionMX, and OrionSX. It is a rack, panel, or DIN rail mountable assembly with four slots that can be filled with any combination of I/O cards, currently: • 16-point Discrete Input Card • 16-point Discrete Input Wetted Card • 16-point Discrete Output Card • 16-point High Power Output Card • 8-point Discrete Input / 8-point High Power Output Combination Card • 8-point Analog Input Card • 8-point Analog Input Flex Card Full population of discrete cards yields 64 I/O in 2 RU (rack units); full population of analog input cards yields 32 analog inputs. See Figure 1 below for front indications and rear connections on Orion I/O. 16-point Discrete Input Card • Electrically isolated circuits; two wires per input • Single design accommodates either higher voltage range (“HV”) or lower voltage range (“LV”). Range selection in software. • HV: nominal 125V dc, maximum 145V dc, always OFF at 75V dc • LV: nominal 12V dc to 48V dc, maximum 60V dc, always OFF at 9V dc 16-point Discrete Input Wetted Card • Module generates and sources the contact wetting current • 16 points in one group. Even-numbered terminals shorted together internally to provide more wiring flexibility. • 24V dc or 48V dc wetting voltage is provided by I/O card. Wetting power supply voltage software selectable in NCD. 16-point Discrete Output Card • Conventional isolated normally open (NO) contacts • Two terminals per output
