Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Not applicable (electronic component) |
| other spec: | 24V DC nominal voltage (18-30V range), IP20 protection rating, 16 digital I/O channels |
| temperature: | -20°C to +70°C (operating), -40°C to +85°C (storage) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
4 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The number of input/output channels typically ranges from 8 to 32, determining how many field devices can be connected. Verify the exact channel count for your specific model.
Common input signal types include NPN/PNP, 0–10 V, and 4–20 mA, per IEC 61131-2. The signal type must match the sensor output; confirm compatibility with your sensors.
The isolation voltage is typically 1500 V AC, ensuring safe separation between field and logic sides. This helps protect the controller from electrical noise and spikes.
The operating temperature range is -20 to +60 °C, and storage temperature is -40 to +85 °C. Exceeding these ranges may cause malfunction or thermal shutdown.
