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.

Danger Danger

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Connect only devices with safe extra low voltage equipment (SELV/PELV) inputs/outputs to the AS-B server universal inputs/outputs and digital inputs.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The AS-B server universal inputs/outputs and digital inputs are SELV/PELV. Connect only devices with safe extra low voltage equipment (SELV/PELV) inputs/outputs to the AS-B server universal inputs/outputs and digital inputs. Connecting devices that are not SELV/PELV poses an electrical hazard that will result in death or serious injury.

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

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 uses the same hardware configuration as the digital input that is shown in the figure above.
