The GRV-IDCS-24 is a groov EPIC® digital DC input module designed to sense simple on/off status from field devices. It provides a cost-effective option for projects that only require binary (on/off) input detection.
Key features- Senses on/off status for DC input devices (proximity switches, push buttons, auxiliary contacts) using simple digital logic.
- Module cover includes a status LED and a touch-sensitive pad; touching the pad causes the groov EPIC® processor to display module information such as specifications and a wiring diagram.
- Lower-cost “simple I/O” module option intended for applications that do not require counting, latching, or totalizing features.
- Mounts on a groov EPIC® chassis and works with a GRV-EPIC-PR1 processor and other groov I/O modules.
- Factory tested twice before shipment; most modules are covered by a lifetime warranty.
Applications- OEM and machine design
- Process control and machine monitoring
- Power and energy monitoring
- Predictive maintenance and remote installations (water/wastewater, oil & gas)
- SCADA and IIoT applications
Notes- If features such as latching and totalizing are required, see the GRV-IDC-24 model instead.
