IO plug-in card Insys Microelectronics icom MRcard IO

The Insys Microelectronics icom MRcard IO is a wired IO plug-in card for MRX series routers that expands device functionality with analogue and digital inputs and outputs. It enables centralised management of measurement data and status indicators within a single MRX appliance, reducing the need for additional control devices and simplifying installation and administration in control cabinets.

Advantages

The MRcard IO integrates with MRX routers to add input/output capabilities, lowering hardware and space requirements by replacing external controllers. It supports hardware redundancy and multiple interface combinations (DSL, mobile radio, fibre optics) in a single device, allowing cost-effective upgrades and technology migrations without time‑consuming reconfiguration. Centralised software handling in the router manages water level measurements, alarms and status reporting.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MRcard IO into a compatible MRX series router according to the router manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Connect sensors and actuators to the card’s analogue and digital terminals and configure input/output mapping and alarm thresholds via the MRX router software. The router centrally collects measurement data, triggers alarms and transmits status messages to a control centre or SCADA system.

Recommendations

Use the MRcard IO in authorised MRX devices and follow INSYS installation and safety guidelines. For water level monitoring, calibrate sensors and set alarm thresholds to the centimetre resolution required by your application. Keep firmware up to date to enable future technology upgrades and ensure compatibility with network fallbacks.
