Product Description

The 3DI486.6-1 digital input module is meant to be used in industrial control systems and it consists of two electrically independent groups each of which contains 32 digital inputs. Each channel has I/O function status indicators, while software diagnostics and LED indicators are applied for monitoring I/O power supply status per input group. To operate, the module consumes only 1.2 W at a provided built-in 5 VDC. There is electrical isolation between channels and the PLC but there isn't any between individual channels within the same group. However, it is provided only between input groups. The 3DI486.6-1 meets industrial standards and has UKCA, CE and cULus (E115267) compliance.

The digital inputs are setup on sink or source input circuits with a nominal voltage rating of 24 VDC. For rapid signal processing these have hardware input filter that quickly reacts in less than 100 us. It has an IP20 level of protection according to EN60529 enabling it to function under different conditions unlike most other systems sold by the company. It can withstand temperatures from -25 to +70C, and maintain operation within a range of relative humidity of between 5% -95% RH at ambient temperature between 0-60 C.

On base units as well as extension units one can install such devices as the System2005 single-width format compatible with the functional unit (System2005 S), where they serve both as interfaces to external equipment and controllers for small machines or sub-systems (System2005). Installation requires two terminal blocks called TB718 which must be obtained individually before completion of installation process takes place if necessary. They consist of either 18-pin screw clamp terminal block or else an 18-pin cage clamp terminal block known as a 7TB718.91 (18-pin cage clamp terminal block).
