IO-DI8ACH – Unitronics 220/110VAC 8in Digital module
MPN: IO-DI8ACH
Alt. SKU: IODI8ACH
Why Choose the Unitronics IO-DI8ACH High-Speed Digital Input Module?
The Unitronics IO-DI8ACH is a specialised high-speed digital input expansion module designed for integration with Unitronics Vision PLC controllers. It enables precise monitoring of fast digital signals from devices such as encoders, proximity sensors and pulse generators in demanding automation applications.
The module provides 8 high-speed digital inputs, supporting advanced counting and measurement functions used in motion control, production monitoring and industrial automation systems. These inputs are optimised for high-frequency pulse detection, allowing accurate measurement of speed, position and event counts in machine control environments.
Designed for flexible installation, the IO-DI8ACH connects to the PLC through a compatible expansion adapter and can be mounted onto a 35 mm DIN rail or directly onto a control panel. Its compact design makes it suitable for use in control cabinets where reliable high-speed signal acquisition is required.
