Introduction to the TBX DMS 16C222 module

About us
General
The TBX DMS 16C222 is a modular base unit with 8 24 V DC inputs compatible with 2- and 3‐wire proximity sensors, and 8 24 V DC 2A transistor outputs. The module is equipped with a terminal for the direct wiring of sensors and preactuators which can be removed when the power is switched off.
The sensor voltage and preactuator voltage are monitored to ensure that there is sufficient voltage for the inputs to operate correctly and for coherent processing of the outputs. Monitoring the voltage of the preactuators requires that shunts are installed.
The outputs are protected against overloads and short-circuits. If there is a fault at an output, it is set to a safe state, the default state, which is determined by the user: fallback position.
Once the fault has been corrected, the output can be reactivated, if it is reset.
The inputs of this module have functions which, in certain cases, are common to a group of channels. Thus, it is possible to assign the 2 channel groups of the module to the various tasks in the application.
Specific function
The wiring check function for this module continually checks the quality of the connections to the sensors and preactuators.
Two dip-switches , on the board, enable the channels to be adapted to their environment.
Output wiring check faults enable diagnosis of a short‐circuit or an open circuit depending on the channel state.
The module provides independent power supplies: +Csn,n+1 (one for 2 sensors) which are protected against line short‐circuits (0.1 A maximum current).
