    • Bridge Key
      Bridge Key - $

      Universal USB Communications Kit

        Out of stock. Pre-order available.

    What it does:
    Enables sophisticated monitoring and control of up to 16 input signals from a variety of sources

    Get 16 signals into your PLC or SCADA system

    If you need to collate multiple signal input types and route them to your PLC or SCADA system, choose the Zen RTU. This exceptionally flexible and powerful monitoring and control station is the last word in RTU technology.

    Enjoy the flexibility of universal inputs

    The Zen RTU accepts TC, RTD, mA, mV, V, Frequency and Counter. This means you can reduce the number of separate instruments you need for your application, keeping things simple for maintenance and troubleshooting.

    Cleans up noise

    Each of the Zen RTU channels is isolated so there’s zero cross-talk.

    Set up in just minutes

    No calibration and simple software set up with WorkBench.

    In addition to this software a Bridge Key is required for the configuration of this product. You must order one unless you already have one from a previous product purchase.
