The Bachmann DIO232 is a digital input/output module used in industrial automation control systems. It connects digital signals, like switches or discrete signals, to various devices. This module supports data acquisition and control functions.

Key Features

• Digital Input: The module collects digital signals from external devices. It then converts these signals into internal digital signals for processing.
• Digital Output: It sends digital signals to external devices based on control instructions. This function helps in controlling connected devices.
• Signal Isolation: Signal isolation prevents external interference and protects devices. Most DIO modules include this feature.
• Flexible Configuration: Users can configure input/output modes and other parameters through software. This flexibility ensures the module meets specific application needs.

Technical Specifications

• Number of Input/Output Channels: Options include 8/8, 16/16, and others based on application requirements.
• Signal Type: Supports TTL, CMOS, and other signal types.
• Voltage Level: Available in 5V, 24V, and other voltage levels.
• Response Time: Indicates how quickly the module responds to input signals, usually measured in microseconds.
• Drive Capability: Refers to the maximum drive current for output channels. It determines the load type that can be connected.
• Operating Temperature Range: The module operates within a specific temperature range.
• Communication Interface: Includes RS-232, RS-485, CAN, and other interfaces for communication with the host computer or other devices.
