10 Channel Input Module
The 10 Channel Input Module is a GOcontroll Moduline-compatible expansion card that adds ten individually configurable input channels to your modular controller setup. Each input supports low-voltage analog and digital signals (0–5V) and can be used for tasks such as sensor monitoring, pulse counting, and frequency measurement.
The module is engineered for robustness. Each channel includes configurable pull-up and pull-down resistors, and software-based filtering options to fine-tune signal handling. Configuration is done quickly and intuitively via MATLAB-Simulink or Node-RED, allowing engineers to adapt the module to their specific application.
