Status Instruments reckons its MEDACS 2000 series represents a novel and revolutionary concept in DIN rail signal conditioning modules, offering a high degree of functionality and configurability, together with the capability of interfacing to a wide range of industrial sensors The units, which are the result of three years extensive R and D, can be integrated directly into higher level plant control systems via bus systems, DCSs and the fast growing OPC software platform

MEDACS (modular expandable data acquisition and control systems) is aimed at specifiers of electronic equipment in large processing plants, system integrators and specialist panel builders.

As expected, the design of the MEDACS modules meets Status's stringent criteria for performance and reliability, emphasised by the three-way optoisolation and innovative electronics packaging.

Each unit has an RS485 serial communications link, enabling data to be sent to and from a host using Modbus protocol.
