      Support standard Modbus protocol, support multiple RS-485 ports to connect to multiple PM-213x Smart meters.  
      For the power measurement control systems in small/medium sized stores, buildings and factories with electric equipments.  
      PM-213x smart meter with "Wh" pulse output is useful in the systems needing to connect the meter tester.  
      PM-213x smart meter with wired clip-on CT is easily wiring for on-line installation, suitable for the uninterruptible power systems.  
      PM-213x is a series of 3 Phase/4 Loops 1 Phase Compact Smart Meter with true RMS energy and power parameters measurement in
       compact size. The ISaGRAF PACs combining with PM-213x can apply to various control/monitor systems about intelligent electric power
       measurement.

      ICP DAS releases effective "VW Sensor" (Vibration Wire solution) and "Carlson Strain Gauge Inputs" solution . It's useful for measuring
       the stress of constructions like building, bridge, dam, etc.
     
      Each ISaGRAF PAC (as FAQ-091) supports the I-87089 (the VW master card) plus the DN-1618UB (daughter board) to achieve the
       "VW Sensor" application.
     
      Each XP-8xx7-CE6, WP-8xx7 or VP-25W7/23W7 supports the I-87113DW module (the master card of Carlson Strain Gauge Inputs) plus
       the DN-1619 (DN-1618U-Test1) (daughter board) to achieve the "Carlson Strain Gauge Inputs" application.

      One I-8091W can control 2-axis: X-Y plane, or 2 independent axes.  
      Two I-8091W can control 4-axis: X-Y plane + 2 independent axes or 4 independent axes.  
      Encoder Modules I-8093W : 3-axis (FAQ-112) ; I-8084W: 4-axis, without Z-index (FAQ-100) ; I-8090W: 3-axis

      Data, date & time can be stored (e.g., Battery Backup SRAM, Flash & microSD card, optional X-board, XW-board, etc.) and then PC can load
       these data via communication interface. (e.g., RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, etc.)

    (Note) (Note)
     
      Fbus ( RS-485 Network )
       Each ISaGRAF PAC can use its RS-485 port to talk to each other via the Fbus communication mechanism. Fbus can be used to broadcast
       data to each controller or each controller can request to send or receive data from any other controller on the same Fbus network. 
     
      Ebus ( Ethernet Network)
       Each ISaGRAF PAC can use its Ethernet port to talk to each other via the Ebus communication mechanism. When PC is talking with
       controllers via Ethernet, the controllers can also talk to each other via the same Ethernet; It makes the configuration more flexible and
       faster.
     
         Note: I-8x17, I-7188XG doesn't support Ebus.

      In ISaGRAF Workbench, you must connect the I/O board to the "I/O connection" windows correctly and select the "io_state" board then you
       can observe the I/O status. When you Hot-Swap the I-87K (High Profile) I/O, the message will show on the front panel of ISaGRAF PAC.
