9470/32-16-11

• 16 channels can be used in pairs as inputs or outputs
• Module in Zone 1 can be replaced without having to discon nect the power supply
• Intrinsically safe Ex ia IIC inputs/ outputs with line fault moni toring and an LED fault and status display for each channel

The 9470/32-16-11 digital input/output module functions as an intrinsically safe (Ex i) hardware component permanently installed within Zone 1 hazardous environments, providing 16 independent measurement and control channels. For physical configuration in application, these channels are capable of being utilized in pairs for modular pairing setups, serving as inputs for dry contacts and NAMUR proximity switches compliant with the EN 60947-5-6 standard, or alternatively, toggling as control voltage outputs for intrinsically safe indicator lamps and low-power solenoid valves.

For dynamic signal acquisition requirements, the hardware opens 8 dedicated input channels capable of directly receiving and processing high-frequency signals up to 20 kHz, alongside 4 input channels equipped with integrated direction-of-rotation tracking circuits to evaluate physical mechanical rotation. In terms of electrical protection and network topology, all input/output termination points maintain complete short-circuit-proof characteristics and feature full galvanic separation from the underlying automation system architecture, blocking electrical energy transfer between hazardous and safe areas.
