Features
M74 FeaturesA compact design and full isolation provide high reliability and efficient use of space. The detachable body and base and expansion connectors simplify maintenance and module configuration. M74 MASTER supports convenient parameter setup and integrated management.
Compact construction
At approximately 70% of the volume of competing products, M74 helps make efficient use of control-panel space.
Detachable body and base with module expansion
The detachable body and base allow convenient maintenance without switching off power during operation. Expansion connectors reduce communication and power wiring between modules.
Simple key operation
Features an industry-first key for electronic station number checking and communication parameter setup.
Universal I/O
Supports TC, RTD, voltage and current inputs, with SSR (voltage pulse) and SCR (current) outputs. Relay outputs can be added using an M74R module.
Configurable output ports and functions
Configure output ports for retransmission output and simultaneous heating/cooling control.
User-defined register map
Arrange monitoring and setting registers in the required order to reduce communication frames with a PLC or other host and streamline data processing.
Fully isolated design
A fully isolated design separates the inputs and outputs. The specified terminal pairs are rated for a dielectric strength test of 1,000 V AC for 1 minute.
Long-life parameter storage
Stores parameter settings in EEPROM rated for at least 4 million writes and 200 years of data retention.
Fully isolated RS-485 communication
Supports 9,600~115,200 bps and Modbus ASCII/RTU, PC-Link and TL-Link.
Temperature recording and integrated management
M74 MASTER remote monitoring and data viewer software is included as standard for convenient parameter setup, recording and integrated management.
