Function and Positioning

This 16-channel digital input module is specially designed for harsh environments with wide temperature variation. It receives two types of signals including NO/NC dry contact signals and 24 VDC to 120 VAC/VDC voltage signals. Each channel is equipped with configurable debounce function ranging from 10 ms to 500 ms and built-in high-voltage surge suppression. As a rugged and highly reliable digital input unit, it is widely applied to outdoor cabinets, non-air-conditioned equipment rooms and safety-related I/O circuits in industrial sites.
