Trigger messages on any Alpha display simply and economically!

The Alpha Discrete Input Interface accepts input 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 displays using the Alpha handheld remote or Alpha Message Software.

The Alpha Discrete Interface then triggers the appropriate message when the corresponding input on the Discrete Input Interface is closed.The Alpha Discrete Input Interface can be configured to accept inputs in several formats, including Discrete, BCD or Binary formats. It can also be configured as a counter. The discrete, binary and BCD inputs trigger change-of-status pre-programmed messages to run on Alpha displays such as 'Warning; Conveyor Stopped'. The up/down counter sends counts which can be viewed on the Alpha display alone or incorporated into pre-programmed messages such as 'Parts Count = 1237'.

The Alpha Discrete Input Interface connects to as many as 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 displays.
