This is another member of the 2600 series of smart I/O modules which connect to an Ethernet via a 2601 communication module. It can read or write to 48 digital I/O lines.  The 2610’s microcontroller provides I/O services to a remote client such as model 2601 via a category-3 cable.  The cable supplies isolated serial communication and power to the 2610’s microcontroller.

Switch de-bounce
The 2610’s microcontroller uses a 10 millisecond de-bounces filter on all digital input lines. This minimizes errors from electromechanical switch bounce

Interlocks
Up to five independent interlock circuits and/or emergency stop circuits can be threaded through the 2650 relay and 2610 digital I/O modules. Each digital output can be jumper programmed to open when an interlock voltage is removed.

Field Wiring
The 2610 has forty-eight RJ-11 jacks for direct connection to field wiring.  Each jack supplies interlocked power and connections for up to three digital I/O channels.  Two of the three channel connections are repeated in adjacent jacks.  This allows connecting an I/O cable that has three signals to a single RJ-11 jack.

I/O Modules
A wide range of I/O module types are available.  Each I/O module type has a specialized function such as analog I/O, thermocouples,  relays, digital I/O, etc.  A low-cost category-5 patch cable connects each I/O module to its Communication Module. Any combination of I/O modules may be connected to a Communication Module.

All I/O modules have on-board DC/DC converters to power module circuitry. This feature helps to prevent ground loops and associated common mode voltage problems when the I/O modules are distributed over long distances.  In addition, the inter-module communication circuits are optically isolated so as to eliminate communication ground loops.

Pulse Width Modulation
The first eight output channels may be programmed to produce pulse width modulated outputs to control electric heaters, flashing lights, etc.

Status Indicators
The 2610’s microcontroller can monitor and report the state of each I/O line.  Each line is monitored with an LED that lights regardless of whether the channel is driven by an external signal or by the channel’s output driver.

The 2610 has a RESET LED that flashes briefly after a software reset.  There are also XMT, RCV and LINK indicators that show communication with the communication module. A heartbeat LED flashes at two second intervals to indicate that the 2610 is function properly Non Ethernet System.

Motion Detection
The 2250  performs motion detection  in three user programmable regions of interest.  For each separate region of interest, the user can set up different motion detection sensitivity.  Within the regions of interest motion can be further localized to a 16x16 pixel block.

Software and Manuals

Full-featured Windows 98/NT/2000/XP and Linux libraries are available below in the software development kit, along with comprehensive sample programs.

A Windows DLL for the 2600 series is provided at no additional cost. It requires the use of a 2601 communication module in addition to the 2610. The Windows 98/NT/2000/XP DLL is a common interface for the entire 2600 series. The SDK includes sample programs for Visual Basic and C++. The source code for these programs show how to use the DLL. A second DLL is provided for systems that use the 2699 serial port adapter.
