Product Datasheet

'VT408DIN Analog sensor extension unit' increases the number of analog sensors connected to any Vutlan monitoring unit. Each VT408 unit adds x8 analog sensor ports. This is a CAN bus unit, it connects in a CAN port and allows further CAN daisy chain connection. Sensors connected to the extension unit appear in the system automatically.

The device has a DIn rail form factor for industrial applications and electrical-mechanical enclosures

CAN devices and sensors can be chained together. Up to 10-32 CAN devices can be connected in a chain. You can connect CAN sensors or extensions on a CAN bus line.

Connecting CAN sensors

• You can connect up to x32 CAN units in a CAN bus chain.
• E.g. Each VT408 unit in a CAN bus chain adds 8 analog sensors.
• E.g. Each VT440 unit adds x32 or x64 dry contact inputs to the system.
• The additional power supply CAN12V-1A is needed only if the number of sensors in a CAN bus chain is more than 12 sensors. Supplies power for each additional group of 12 sensors.
