Overview
VISY-Input 8 is a digital 8-channel input module, installed in a case with protection class IP66.
It connects external alarm outputs to the VISY-X tank gauging system.
With the VISY-Input 8, external alarm signals can be transmitted to the VISY-Command for
central recording. This allows the indication of alarms at a central location. As VISY-Input 8
has its own housing it can be installed at any position where the simplest wiring can be
made. To connect to the VISY-X tank gauging system only a low-cost communication cable
has to be laid. Up to eight modules VISY-Input 8 can be operated simultaneously with the
VISY-Command.
