- Configures each of sixteen channels for supported analog input, temperature input, or analog output functions
- Combines 16-bit input conversion with 14-bit output conversion and adjustable filtering
- Supports an external 18 to 34 volt DC supply and provides 500 volt isolation from the control system
AIO216 is the sixteen-channel universal analog module in the Bachmann M200 control-system portfolio.
A channel can be assigned to supported voltage, current, resistance-temperature, thermocouple, voltage-output, or current-output operation, allowing mixed measurement and control duties in one module.
Reliable commissioning depends on matching every channel to its sensor or load, wiring method, reference potential, filter, scaling, diagnostics, and external supply requirements.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for AIO216 are confirmed during quotation.

- Configure every channel for the intended signal type before connecting the field device
- Use the documented two-, three-, or four-wire connection method for Pt100 and Pt1000 measurements
- Match thermocouple type, polarity, compensation method, and cable material to the configured channel
- Select the cutoff frequency to balance response time against noise rejection for the actual process
- Route low-level voltage and thermocouple wiring away from switching conductors and interference sources
- Check shields, reference potentials, grounding, scaling, and sensor power when readings are unstable
- Keep voltage-output current within the documented 10 milliampere maximum
- Keep current-output loop resistance within the documented 600 ohm maximum
- Verify external supply capacity for the configured outputs and connected field loads
- Mixed voltage and current measurement for industrial and plant-automation process signals
- Pt100, Pt1000, and thermocouple temperature acquisition with channel-specific sensor wiring
- Analog voltage or current command outputs for compatible actuators, drives, and control devices
