Consider M-System as an alternative for I/O requirements.
M-System offers more than 3000 signal conditioners and remote I/O modules as a standard, with more than 75 000 I/O, power and mounting configuration combinations. Special input and output types are also available, with more than 20 000 having been requested and offered to M-System customers worldwide. If one signal conditioner is not enough, M-system can offer a combined solution to do the task.
The products offered by M-System include signal conditioners, distributed network I/O, paperless recorders, panel meters, surge suppressors and valve actuators. Also, M-System is continuously working on meeting modern industrial trends for open network I/O devices including Modbus, Ethernet, Devicenet, Profibus, CC-Link, Mechatrolink and Lonworks. Working with open architecture M-System product can communicate easily with popular HMI software packages and PLC/DCSs. Another important aspect is that M-System’s major offerings are certified against industry standards such as CE (EMC, LVD), UL & C-UL, ATEX and FM.
M-System products include:
* 53U multipower monitor with RS485 Modbus interface.
* Universal field programmable signal conditioner for mV, V, mA, T/C. RTD, potentiometer and resistance inputs.
* PC recorders for various I/O signals with RS232 and RS485 Modbus interfaces.
* Ultra-slim high density signal conditioners.
* Power transducers.
* Dual and quad limit alarms with various input configurations.
* Full range of surge protection for sensors, signals, networks and power lines.
M-System together with Gauteng-based supplier, Tecmo Automation, provide client-specific design advice and product specifications. On-site process analyses can be conducted and results can be used in order to supply a customised and optimised solution. Various distributors are present throughout South Africa to assist with application and on-site assessment. Product catalogues are available upon customer request and product specific demonstration can be arranged if required.

Editor's Choice PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Many process engineers do not appreciate the importance of flow loops in their unit controls. A senior process engineer once told me that flow loops need not be tuned well, as they generally have little effect on the more important and much slower loops like temperatures and pressures.

PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
