Digital Inputs

arrow1_rotationInputs arrow1_rotationSpecifications

The digital inputs can be used for sensing of multiple dry contact digital inputs in applications, such as equipment status monitoring or alarm point monitoring.

As counter inputs, digital inputs are commonly used in energy metering applications.

Inputs

The DI digital inputs are designed to read two different types of inputs:

  • Digital

  • Counter

 
action_zoom_plus_stroke Digital input internal configuration
Figure: Digital input internal configuration

Applied voltages beyond the absolute maximum ratings cause over current in the protection component D Z .

Digital inputs

The external connection of a digital input is shown in the following figure:

K is the monitored external switch.

V S = 24 V

R PU = 10 kohm

Counter inputs

A counter input utilizes the same hardware configuration as the digital input as shown in the figure above.
