• Input specifications: Supports 24VDC input with an operating range of 19.2~30VDC; high-level (State 1) detection range is 15~30VDC, low-level (State 0) detection range is -3~5VDC, compatible with various field DC sensors and switching devices.
• Logic type: Uses sink logic circuits, requiring a shared input common connected to positive potential, simplifying wiring and improving system reliability.

2. High-Speed Response and Precise Acquisition

• Response time: ≤1ms for both State 0→State 1 and State 1→State 0, enabling high-speed capture of field signal changes to ensure the control system obtains equipment status in real time, suitable for high-frequency signal monitoring.
• Addressing scheme: Requires 2 input words for easy address assignment and signal access in the control system, improving signal transmission efficiency.
• Input characteristics: Input impedance 2500Ω, minimum current ≥2mA at State 1, maximum current ≤0.5mA at State 0, with excellent leakage current control to ensure accurate signal acquisition and avoid false triggering.

3. Multiple Protection and Isolation Design

• Overvoltage protection: Built-in overvoltage protection (current limiting via resistors), capable of withstanding transient overvoltage of 56V for 1.3ms decaying pulse, with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 30VDC, preventing module damage from abnormal field voltage.
• Group isolation: Group-to-bus isolation voltage 1780Vrms (1 minute), group-to-group isolation voltage 500Vrms (1 minute), effectively isolating external interference and protecting internal components and core system parts.

4. Diagnostic Monitoring and Usability

• Status monitoring: 32 green channel status indicators on the front panel display real-time input status; 1 red external fault indicator lights up when an abnormality is detected; 1 green bus communication indicator shows bus status, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot issues.
• Fault diagnosis: Supports external fault detection and feedback; module operating status and fault information can be read via the CPU module for remote monitoring and fault localization, reducing on-site maintenance workload.
• Modular design: Compact and highly integrated structure for easy installation and removal, enabling quick replacement of faulty modules to reduce system downtime and improve maintenance efficiency; simplified wiring design with shared common terminals reduces wiring complexity for on-site cabling.

5. Industrial-Grade Reliability and Environmental Adaptability
