Integrated Control System Offers Versatility

Detcon’s (USA) new Model X40 is a low power alarm and control system designed to monitor multiple gas detection sensors and a wide range of other field devices. The versatile control system is designed to receive and supervise inputs using either 4-20mA DC or Serial RS-485 Modbus™ and is available in two packages: Model X40-8 and Model X40-32. Both packages function as a Modbus™ Master and can be customised and expanded based on individual application needs using Detcon’s stackable din-rail mounted modules. All I/O modules are individually addressable and operate on 11.5-30VDC.

The X40-8 provides power for up to eight field devices and can house up to six 4-channel I/O modules. The X40-32 provides power for up to 32 field devices and can house up to 12 4-channel I/O modules. Detcon I/O modules provide for digital and analog inputs as well as alarm relay and analog outputs. They can be remotely installed to simplify field wiring. The Model X40 is completely field programmable and offers advanced technology with intuitive, embedded intelligence. Among the system’s unique features is a wireless option that can be used with Detcon’s RXT-320 SmartWireless® transceivers.
