Product Description

The B&R Automation ECE161-0 input module can handle an AC input frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz. This capability allows the module to effectively process signals from devices operating within this frequency specification. It also features 16 digital input channels, allowing users to connect multiple devices to the module simultaneously. Each input is designed to reliably capture signals from a variety of sources, enabling comprehensive monitoring and control of machinery and processes in automation setups.

The module is designed to accommodate both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) signals, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications and devices. It is rated for a 24 VDC/AC input voltage simplifying system integration by allowing users to connect various devices without needing additional voltage converters. The module boasts an input resistance of approximately 2.2 kΩ, ensuring proper signal integrity. The relatively high input resistance allows the module to minimize current draw from the input signals, reducing the potential for interference and ensuring accurate readings. The module can effectively interface with a wide range of sensors without affecting their performance, making it ideal for applications that require reliable and precise input monitoring.

The ECE161-0 provides a precise switching threshold of a minimum of 14 VDC for transitioning from a logical 0 to a logical 1, and 16 VAC for the same transition. When the input voltage exceeds these thresholds, the module can detect the change in signal state, ensuring a quick response from connected devices. The module offers enhanced safety in operation with galvanic isolation on its inputs through the use of an optocoupler. This keeps the module protected in case of voltage fluctuations, ensuring safe and reliable operation in different settings.
