SPECIFICATION
Model
TDI16EIA
Power supply inputs
Has two separate connectors (FS1and FS2) for
redundant dc power supplies. The positive
supplies feed a common bus via auctioneering
diodes. When auctioneering takes place 
outside the card, the required power may be 
supplied via a single connector.
No. of digital input channels
16
Nominal field supply voltage
24Vdc
Maximum field supply voltage
33Vdc
Current rating
50mA per channel. 
NOTE: In normal operation when used with a
Digital Input Module having a 10k ohm input 
resistance, the current in each channel will be 
2.4mA with 24V field supply.
Fuse in each positive line to field
1A, fast acting, indicating
Chassis cable connector
34-way DIN41612
Field cable connector
38-way Elco connector
Fuse blown indication
Local: Fuse blown LED (one per card) 
Remote: Fuse blown alarm output (PL1) – can 
be connected to Fuse blown LED on Power 
Distribution Panel (PDD24).
Transient suppression
A transient suppressor device between each 
field return line and a common 0V bus clamps 
the field return line voltage (with respect to 0V 
common) as follows: 
+37Vdc to +43Vdc @ 1mA (maximum for 
continuous overload) 
+70Vdc @ 69A maximum peak pulse current 
for 8ms to 20ms
Safety ground terminal TS1
M3 threaded bush provision for a ring terminal. 
Allows the common 0V supply bus to be 
grounded via a 10k ohm resistor. Prevents the 
channels from floating if the card is 
disconnected from the chassis.
