The SDI208 (P/N: 00014544-00) is a high-integrity safety input module designed to extend the Bachmann M1 system’s functional safety capabilities. Working alongside the SLC284 safety processor, it provides 16 digital inputs that can be configured as 8 redundant pairs to achieve SIL 3 and PL e / Category 4 compliance.
Equipped with dual 32-bit microcontrollers in a redundant internal architecture, the SDI208 continuously monitors input states and hardware health, ensuring a deterministic safe state in the event of a fault.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Model Identification | SDI208 |
| Voltage Range (Low) | –34 VDC to +5 VDC |
| Internal Current Consumption | 500 mA at 5 VDC (via backplane) |
| External Power Supply | 24 VDC (18–34 V range) |
| Galvanic Isolation | 500 V between input groups and system bus |

Can be mounted in the main rack or remotely via FASTBUS or bus extension
Supports decentralized safety signals such as emergency stops, light curtains, and door interlocks
Safety states are transparently available to the non-safety PLC for visualization and diagnostics
Reduces the need for long parallel wiring back to the central controller
Q: Can the SDI208 be used as a standard, non-safety digital input module?
A: While it can read standard signals, it is optimized and certified for safety applications. For non-safety tasks, consider DI232 or DIO216 for cost efficiency.
Q: Does the module detect cable breaks?
A: Yes. With optional external test pulsing, the SDI208 can detect short circuits, cross-circuits, and wiring faults.
