Heavy Machinery: Limit switch and interlock monitoring in high-vibration environments.
Marine & Substation Automation: Where signal clarity and mechanical robustness are critical.
The mixed I/O capability reduces total module count, optimizing cabinet space and lowering overall system complexity.
Q: Does the DIO216/4 support short-circuit protection on its outputs?
A: Yes. The module includes electronic short-circuit and thermal overload protection to safeguard output stages during field wiring faults.
Q: Can this module be used with 12 V logic signals?
A: No. The DIO216/4 is designed for 24 V industrial logic. Using 12 V signals may lead to unreliable high-state detection; sensor compatibility should be verified prior to integration.
