Features:
- Acquires sixteen common-potential binary inputs from field contacts.
- Supervises input wiring for open-circuit and short-circuit faults.
- Supports shielded sensor cable runs up to the documented 500 m limit.
The ordered board is the supervised binary input module for an AS 220/230 I/O-B bus position. Inputs may be configured around normally open or normally closed field contacts.
Field states and line-health information are evaluated on the module before being transferred through the backplane. The external monitoring resistor allows the circuit to distinguish a valid contact state from a wiring failure.
Preserve the channel logic, resistor location, common reference and slot address during replacement. Wiring should be checked before energization to prevent false diagnostics or reversed process indication.
Discontinued supply is reviewed after the field-contact logic and rack connection are documented.

- Monitors switch, relay and limit-contact states in legacy TELEPERM control systems.
- Provides supervised discrete inputs for circuits where open and short wiring faults must be distinguished.
- Supports long shielded sensor runs to AS 220/230 base or expansion cabinets.
- Line supervision identifies wire-break and short-circuit conditions on the connected channels.
- The external 47 kohm resistor must remain in the correct location for meaningful fault detection.
- Feedback-current behavior should be checked when an input remains abnormal after rewiring.
- Sixteen contact states are evaluated against a shared reference potential.
- Normally open or normally closed logic must match the configured process indication.
- Channel checks should compare actual field operation with the corresponding controller status.
- The module occupies an I/O-B bus slot in an AS 220/230 base or expansion unit.
- Contact type and supervision logic must be reproduced for every channel after replacement.
- Existing channel addresses and common-potential wiring should be verified against cabinet drawings.
