Product Overview

The DIO232 (Part Number: 00012242-00) is a mid-density digital input/output module engineered for the Bachmann M1 automation system. Occupying a single-slot footprint, it provides 32 channels symmetrically divided into 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. This module is designed for engineers seeking a balanced I/O distribution for local or distributed control substations.

Equipped with 500 V RMS galvanic isolation, the DIO232 (00012242-00) ensures that field-side transients do not compromise the system electronics. Its robust construction and wide thermal range make it a standard choice for high-reliability sectors, including wind energy, maritime engine monitoring, and heavy industrial plant automation.
