imo gpl-d24a plc smart i/o 20.4-28.8vdc
MPN: GPL-D24A
Alt. SKU: GPLD24A
Why Choose the IMO GPL-D24A 32-Channel Digital Input Module?
The GPL-D24A Smart I/O module provides 32 opto-isolated digital inputs and integrates seamlessly into Profibus-DP networks. Designed for 20.4–28.8 V DC operation, it offloads sensor acquisition from central controllers, simplifying wiring and enabling high-speed, deterministic I/O across distributed control panels.
Key Features of the GPL-D24A Digital Input Module
- 32 Digital Inputs: Opto-isolated, sink-type channels supporting 19–28 V DC signals.
- Profibus-DP Interface: Supports standard DP-V0 communication at up to 12 Mbps.
- Low Input Current: 7 mA per channel to minimize power consumption.
- DIN-Rail Mount: Compact 176.6 × 50 × 39 mm footprint.
- Temperature Range: 0 °C to +50 °C operating, –25 °C to +70 °C storage.
- Diagnostics: LED indicators for power, network, and individual input status.
How to Install the IMO GPL-D24A Module
Mount the GPL-D24A onto a 35 mm DIN rail in your control cabinet. Wire 20.4–28.8 V DC to the power terminals, then connect each field device to the input screw terminals. Plug your Profibus DP cable into the module’s B9 connector, set the station address via the rotary switch, and power on. Verify input and network connectivity through the module’s LEDs.
