FAQ

1. What voltage levels define a valid “ON” input?

   A voltage above approximately 18 VDC is recognized as an active (closed) digital input.

2. Can input signal recognition be delayed to avoid bouncing?

   The module features programmable debounce from 1 to 100 milliseconds per channel.

3. Does each channel have independent fault detection?

   Each channel reports open circuit, short, and stuck condition independently.

4. Is the module protected against input wiring shorts?

   Overcurrent protection is provided, and faults are reported immediately.

5. How is input isolation achieved?

   Complete galvanic isolation is provided between each channel and the module backplane.

6. Does the module support hot plugging?

   It can be inserted or removed while powered, without impacting system operation.

7. What happens if a channel input shorts to ground?

   The module detects the fault, disables that channel, and alerts via LED and system alarm.

8. Can this module handle slow digital signals?

   Programmable debounce accommodates slow or noisy input transitions.

9. Is it compatible with short-circuit grounded inputs?

   Protection ensures only the affected channel is disabled, without module-wide failure.

10. Can this module be used in SIL-rated safety loops?

    Provided it’s used within an overall SIL-capable architecture and backplane configuration.
