Control Engineering
Small control tasks made simple
Ethernet I/O modules of the
WISE‑7500 series:
From electrical signal to smart sensor/actuator
"If the motor has started and the temperature is greater than 90 °C, then switch on the cooling and send an
alarm email to the technician." These and similar "control tasks" can be performed by the Ethernet I/O
modules of the WISE-7500 series.
They are easily configured via a browser and eliminate the need for a complex PLC or a host PC with control
software.
The WISE-7500 series has a built-in logic engine that offers extensive measurement, control, diagnostic and
reporting functions. These include IF-THEN-ELSE decisions that are event- or time-controlled. Internal
registers for "calculated" channels are also available.
The Rule Engine processes all local signals and additionally signals from up to 8 other WISE modules in the
network (P2P mode). If required, the I/O modules communicate with higher-level process and control systems
via Ethernet and Modbus TCP protocol.
Easy connection to IIoT applications is possible, as all I/O data is available via MQTT protocol and
publish/subscribe mechanism. Thus, the WISE-7500 modules turn a few measurement and control lines into a
real smart sensor/actuator.
The Ethernet I/O modules offer various combinations of digital and analogue inputs and outputs and are
already operational as a PoE PD device when the Ethernet cable is plugged in.
With its compact metal housing, DIN rail mounting and wide temperature range from -25 °C to +75 °C, the
WISE-7500 series is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
