Schneider Electric 140DAI44000

Schneider Electric 140DAI44000 I/O Module

The Schneider Electric 140DAI44000 is a versatile and reliable VAC discrete input module designed to enhance the capabilities of industrial automation systems. It belongs to Schneider Electric’s widely recognized Modicon Quantum range, which is known for its robust construction and seamless compatibility with automation environments. This module handles 16 discrete 48 V AC inputs, making it an ideal choice for high-voltage monitoring and control tasks.

Key Features and Specifications

The 140DAI44000 model operates in a standard module format, seamlessly fitting into existing systems. It accommodates 16 discrete inputs organized into individual channels, providing clear and effective input management. The module’s addressing requirement is simplified to one input word, allowing efficient configuration and easy integration into more extensive automation networks.

Compatibility with industry-standard Schneider Electric software such as Unity Pro, Concept, and ProWORX 32 offers flexibility in configuring, controlling, and diagnosing the module. This software compatibility enhances the overall functionality and allows easy monitoring of the system's status, making it easier to troubleshoot tasks.

Electrical Characteristics

The 140DAI44000 model is designed to handle 48 V AC input voltage, supporting input currents of up to 11 mA at a network frequency of 57 to 63 Hz and up to 9.3 mA at a frequency range of 47 to 53 Hz. To ensure reliable operation, the module guarantees a voltage range of 34 to 56 V AC for State 1 at higher frequencies and 36 to 56 V AC at lower frequencies. State 0's voltage remains between 0 to 10 V AC regardless of the frequency range.

The input impedance of the module is 5600 Ohms (capacitive) at higher frequencies and 6800 Ohms at lower frequencies. It maintains leakage currents below 1.7 mA, enhancing the system's stability and safety. Additionally, the module offers protection against overvoltage conditions, tolerating absolute maximum input values of up to 100 V for one cycle, 56 V continuously, and 63 V for up to 10 seconds. This feature ensures the safety and longevity of the module in dynamic voltage environments.

Enhanced Isolation and Response Time

Isolation is a critical consideration in the design of the 140DAI44000 I/O module. It features isolation capabilities of 1780 Vrms between channels and between channels and the bus, sustained for one minute. This high isolation rating safeguards the module from electrical faults and minimizes channel interference, leading to stable and reliable operation.

The module is engineered for quick response times, ranging from 4.9 to 0.75 milliseconds per line cycle for Off-On transitions and 7.3 to 12.3 milliseconds for On-Off transitions. This responsiveness ensures timely and accurate detection of input states, which is crucial in high-speed control and monitoring applications.

Warranty and Free Shipping

To provide customers with peace of mind, the Schneider Electric 140DAI44000 module comes with a two-year MRO Electric and Supply warranty covering manufacturing defects and ensuring long-term reliability. The module also benefits from free shipping, making it a cost-effective solution for upgrading or expanding existing automation systems.
