IA10 Indicator and Alarm Unit for Industry

Dual input, alarms, analog output, and Modbus RTU   

The IA10 Indicator and Alarm Unit is a high-precision industrial monitoring device designed for advanced process control. It features dual input channels with real-time arithmetic operations (+, −, ×, ÷), allowing precise data comparison and signal logic. IA10 supports thermocouples, RTDs, and analog inputs (mA, V, mV), making it ideal for applications like temperature, pressure, or flow monitoring.

With a tri-color LCD display, up to 5 alarm outputs, and 15-bit analog retransmission, IA10 delivers accurate visual feedback and secure alarm signaling. The unit also integrates Modbus RTU communication over RS485, ensuring seamless connectivity with PLC, SCADA, and remote systems. IA10 is built for reliability, integration, and performance in demanding industrial environments.
