ALPHA Discrete Input Interface
Trigger
Messages an any ALPHA Display Simply and Economically!
The ALPHA Discrete Input Interface accepts inputs from photoelectric
eyes, limit switches, proximity sensors, PLC I/O blocks, relays,
push buttons, contact closures or any discrete, BCD, binary, or
up/down counting device or sensor. Users create and download custom
messages into ALPHA marquees using the ALPHA handheld remote or
ALPHA Messaging Software. The ALPHA Discrete Input Interface then
triggers the appropriate message when the corresponding input on the
Discrete Input Interface is closed.
The
ALPHA Discrete Input Interface connects to as many as 32 contacts in
blocks of 8 inputs. The interface simply mounts on a standard 35mm
DIN rail and is easily connected to power, contacts and RS485 serial
communications to the ALPHA LED signs.
 | Easy connectivity to switches, contacts, photo eyes, proximity
sensors, relays, PLC I/O blocks, etc.
 | Configurations for discrete, binary (parallel) andup/down
counting and BCD standard options, field adjustable.
 | Inputs with 24 VDC sink or source capabilities.
 | Quick message creation in the display corresponding to the
appropriate contacts via the handheld remote or the ALPHA
Messaging Software.
 | Simple interfacing to ALPHA displays via a RS485 network. |

ALPHA Ethernet Adapter
The
ALPHA Ethernet Adapter is easily configured remotely over
your network. No external power supply is required as the Adapter is
powered directly by the display. Simply attach the Ethernet Adapter
to the back of a display and connect your Ethernet cable to the
Adapter.
Two
additional solutions are available. For 100BaseT networks, Adaptive
offers the MSS100 version of the Ethernet Adapter. Where several
displays are connected together via a RS485 network, the MSS485
version is available to easily connect multiple signs to one IP
address on a 10BaseT network.
 | Easy and cost effective connectivity to existing LANs without
creating another.
 | Networking via TCP/IP 10BaseT (100BaseT with the MSS100).
 | Simple user setup of the IP address.
 | Backwards compatible with existing serial ALPHA displays which
allows a computer with only serial ports to communicate via a
TCP/IP network. |
