TECHNICAL REFERENCE
•Safety Agency Approvals –CE, UL, & cUL listed, plus Class I; Division
2; Groups A, B, C, D approval.
•Fully Isolated –I/O channels, network, and power are all isolated from
each other for safety and increased noise immunity.
•Modbus TCP/IP Protocol Support –Supports up to 10 sockets/
masters using port number 502 (Modbus TCP/IP Default).
•I/O Mapping (i2o) Feature –Allows the inputs of a 983EN device to
control the outputs of an Acromag 982EN or 983EN output module.
•Flexible IP Addressing –Supports static, DHCP, or BOOTP.
•Built-In Web Pages - Allow unit to optionally be configured, controlled,
and monitored via access with a standard web browser over ethernet.
•Convenient “Wink” ID Mode Support –Blinks green RUN LED in wink
mode as a tool to help identify specific remote units.
•Fully Independent w/ Direct I/O Connection –Self-contained with no
special bus couplers, power supply, or rack mount required to operate.
•Network Port is Transient Protected –Shielded RJ45 port includes
transient protection from ESD, EFT, and other transients.
•10Base-T and 100Base-TX Support –Auto-negotiated 10/100Mbps,
Half or Full Duplex.
•Plug-In Terminal Blocks & DIN-Rail Mount - Make mounting, removal,
and replacement easy.
•Flexible Discrete Inputs & Outputs - High voltage/current open-drain
outputs provide direct (low-side) control of external devices. Buffered
inputs allow outputs to be read back, or input levels to be monitored.
•Tandem Input/Output Circuitry (983EN Only) - Input buffers are
connected in tandem with open-drain outputs for convenient loop-back
monitoring of the output state.
•Convenient Pullup Resistors Mounted In Sockets –SIP resistors are
installed in sockets on the I/O board and provide input and output pull-
ups to the excitation supply. These SIP resistors can be removed or
exchanged according to your application.
•Outputs Have Built-in Protection –Over-temperature/current shut-
down protection is built-in and include active clamping circuitry for
switching inductive loads.
•Failsafe Mode Support w/Watchdog Time Control –Outputs can be
sent to a failsafe state if the host fails and a watchdog timeout occurs.
•Nonvolatile Reprogrammable Memory –Allows the functionality of this
device to be reliably reprogrammed thousands of times.
•Operation/Diagnostic LED Indicators Aide Troubleshooting –12
yellow LED’s indicate active-low I/O state. Yellow ACT LED indicates
port activity (busy). Green LNK LED indicates link (auto-negotiation
complete and connection established). Green RUN LED indicates
power or blinks in wink ID mode. Yellow ST LED indicates default
communication mode (slow flash) and timeout status (fast flash).
•Internal Watchdog - A hardware watchdog timer is built into the
microcontroller that causes it to initiate a self reset if the controller ever
“locks up” or fails to return from an operation in a timely manner.
•Wide-Range DC-Power –Wide range diode-coupled for use with
redundant supplies, and/or battery back-up.
•Hardened For Harsh Environments - For protection from RFI, EMI,
ESD, EFT, & surges. Has low radiated emissions per CE requirements.
•Wide Ambient Operation –Reliable over a wide temperature range.
