Product Description

The DI486A/3 digital input module is a versatile solution for collecting on/off status from field devices. Its compact design accommodates tight control panel layouts with minimal space requirements. This eight-channel unit monitors dry contact or proximate type inputs. Common applications include switch position, motor/valve running signals, conveyor enabled/fault conditions, and more. Rugged circuitry ensures reliable signals even in noisy plant environments.

Communicating natively over Ethernet links the module directly into modern production networks. This streamlines wiring and offers flexibility in placement away from the control cabinet. Configuration and troubleshooting become simpler through digital connectivity. Designed for continuous duty, the module withstands wide temperature variations beyond typical enclosure conditions. Its operating range spans from frigid freezers to toasty packaging zones. Immunity to -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C fluctuations promotes use across diverse industrial sectors.

Additional benefits include 24VDC power commonality and DIN-rail mounting. Standard voltage compatibility expedites stocking of compatible modules. Meanwhile, the compact footprint and mounting clip ease integration into cramped spaces.

Weighing just 0.5kg, the DI486A/3 brings robust I/O capabilities without overburdening control system architecture or budgets. Combined with high-performance automation controllers, it empowers seamless machine and process monitoring applications.
