It features 15 single-ended inputs grouped together, offering a robust solution for monitoring process variables such as pressure, flow, or temperature sensors in a compact footprint.

Features

• 15 single-ended analog input channels.
• Supports 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA input signals.
• 15-bit resolution for precise analog-to-digital conversion.
• Integrated diagnostic capabilities, including open-wire detection for 4-20 mA loops.
• Status LED for module health monitoring.
• Configurable input range via terminal jumpers.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC backplane power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
• Mount the module onto the VersaMax I/O carrier, ensuring proper alignment with the backplane connector.
• For 4-20 mA operation, ensure no terminal jumper is installed; for 0-20 mA, install the required terminal jumper.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for analog signals to minimize EMI/RFI interference.
• Ground the cable shields at the sensor end or the module end according to site-specific grounding practices to prevent ground loops.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the module to allow for proper heat dissipation.

FAQ
