MDI-8, Digital Input Sub-module

Product Description

The MDI-8 input module is a submodule for the CNX21 base module, which is galvanically decoupled by means of optocouplers that provides eight digital inputs. For operation in the II/O system, you can install up to three MDI-8s in the four slots of a CNX21 base module. This makes possible a maximum of 24 inputs per CNX21. In addition, you can combine digital MDI-8 input modules with different modules, e.g. digital outputs.
