MSR240P

The MSR240P is a communications module for the modular Minotaur MSR200 family of monitoring safety relays. It can be connected to either the MSR210P or MSR211P base unit to provide diagnostic and status information to remote devices like the MSR245P display.

The MSR240P is connected in place of the terminator plug to the free bus connector of the Basic Module or the last connected Expansion Module, depending on the system configuration. Data transfer and power supply are routed through the same bus cable and connectors.

A green LED in the front of the MSR240P indicates the presence of supply voltage. A blinking yellow LED signals data exchange activity through the RS232/RS485 interface.

The transmission rate for the RS485 can be set with the help of two DIP switch segments at 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 baud.

The station address of MSR240P can be set by 5 additional DIP switch segments. Up to 32 stations can be connected onto a single RS485 network.

The connected supervisory monitoring or data acquisition system of MSR240P can process and store the data, display it, and record the reason ca using a shutdown, along with the time and date of each such occurrence. This makes fault diagnosis much easier.
