Schneider Electric 140DAI45300 I/O Module

The Schneider Electric 140DAI45300 is a versatile VAC discrete input module that provides robust monitoring and control capabilities within industrial automation environments. This module, part of the Modicon Quantum family, is designed to handle 32 discrete inputs at a voltage level of 48 V AC, making it well-suited for a wide range of high-voltage monitoring applications. The module offers reliable and efficient input signal processing, ensuring stable performance in demanding conditions.

Key Features and Specifications

The 140DAI45300 operates in a standard module format, making it compatible with various existing automation systems. It features 32 discrete inputs organized into four groups of channels, allowing for clear input management. The module’s addressing requirement is two input words, simplifying the configuration and making it easy to integrate into large and complex systems.

The module’s flexibility is enhanced by its compatibility with Schneider Electric’s software platforms, including Concept, ProWORX 32, and Unity Pro. This compatibility ensures that the module can be easily programmed, monitored, and maintained, leading to increased efficiency and reduced downtime in industrial operations.

Electrical Characteristics

The 140DAI45300 module operates with a discrete input voltage of 48 V AC and supports input currents of up to 11.7 mA at a frequency range of 57 to 63 Hz and up to 9.8 mA at 47 to 53 Hz. For guaranteed voltage State 1, the module operates between 29 to 56 V AC at higher frequencies and 34 to 56 V AC at lower frequencies. The module guarantees voltage State 0 between 0 to 10 V AC, regardless of the frequency range.

The 140DAI45300's input impedance is 5600 Ohms at 57 to 63 Hz and 6800 Ohms at 47 to 53 Hz, ensuring reliable signal processing. The module’s leakage current is kept below 1.7 mA, contributing to its stability and safety. Additionally, it can handle absolute maximum input conditions of up to 100 V for one cycle, 56 V continuously, and 63 V for up to 10 seconds. This overvoltage protection enhances the module’s durability and reliability in industrial settings.

Enhanced Isolation and Power Dissipation

One of the 140DAI45300 module's standout features is its impressive isolation capabilities. It offers isolation ratings of 1780 Vrms between groups and between the group and the bus, sustained for one minute. This isolation helps prevent electrical faults and interference between groups, ensuring the module's safe and stable operation.

The module also boasts low power dissipation, with a maximum of 10.9 W, which helps minimize heat generation and contributes to the efficient operation of the entire control system.

Warranty and Free Shipping

The 140DAI45300 module comes with a two-year warranty from MRO Electric and Supply, covering any manufacturing defects and offering customers peace of mind. Additionally, free shipping is provided, making this module an economical choice for businesses looking to upgrade or expand their automation systems.
