Overview Manuals Applications Monitoring Installation Configuration & Programming

Features:

  • The AS 220 execution accepts forty-eight binary inputs with group-selectable 24 V or 48 V contact levels.
  • Three sensor-supply groups are monitored and protected to support field-circuit testing.
  • Reference selection and interrupt-capable channels let the module match established TELEPERM M signal engineering.
This ordering code identifies the BA hardware for AS 220 and AS 220 E rather than the later AS 235-oriented CA form.

The card qualifies incoming contact levels, reports stable logic states and supervises the grouped field supply used by connected sensors.

Record the present bank voltage, M/L reference setting, interrupt assignment and connector pinout before removing the original module.

  • Legacy AS 220 cabinets can aggregate plant permissives and alarm contacts without adding separate input isolators for each point.
  • Mixed 24 V and 48 V contact schemes can be accommodated when each eight-channel group is assigned correctly.
  • Maintenance simulation can validate the control response before live field devices are returned to service.
  • Three monitored and short-circuit-protected sensor-supply groups supervise the connected field-contact circuits.
  • The module consolidates forty-eight plant contact or electronic-sensor states for TELEPERM M control processing.
  • Supervised supplies reveal overload or short-circuit conditions, while channel indicators support commissioning checks.
  • Shielded field wiring may extend to 1000 m when the prescribed cable arrangement and reference conductors are maintained.
  • Group voltage selection, reference polarity and field return wiring must be set to the connected 24 V or 48 V contact circuits.
  • All forty-eight non-isolated inputs require a correctly shared reference and consistent field-potential arrangement.
  • Each group of eight inputs can be assigned for 24 V or 48 V contacts to match the installed field-signal level.
  • Eight or sixteen channels may be selected for interrupt handling when designated events need priority processing.
  • Reference polarity, contact type and channel grouping must be configured consistently with the connected field wiring.
Description
6DS1618-8BA receives forty-eight non-isolated contact or electronic-sensor states in AS 220-family automation stations. The channels are arranged around supervised supply groups, giving maintenance personnel a practical way to distinguish field power faults from normal open or closed process conditions.

Groups of eight can be assigned to the 24 V or 48 V contact level, and the module offers selectable M or L reference behavior. Interrupt capability is available for selected inputs, while a typical 1 ms delay and 100 Hz limit preserve deterministic treatment of clean binary signals.

The BA suffix is a functional selection boundary, not a cosmetic revision mark. A planned exchange should verify AS 220/220 E compatibility, reference polarity, group voltage, sensor return paths and process-connector wiring before the replacement is taken to site.

Technical notes
For 6DS1618-8BA, set each eight-channel group to the installed 24 V or 48 V contact circuit before applying field power; a wrong group voltage or reference selection can invalidate every state in that bank.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What makes the bank configuration important on 6DS1618-8BA?
The contact voltage is selected by groups of eight, so a bank must match all field devices wired to that group.
Which TELEPERM stations accept 6DS1618-8BA?
The module supports AS 220 and AS 220 E; it should not be treated as the CA module for AS 235.
How are sensor-supply problems exposed by 6DS1618-8BA?
Three monitored and short-circuit-protected groups provide diagnostic visibility for the field-side supply paths.
What cable practice applies to 6DS1618-8BA input runs?
The shielded length reaches 1000 m, but grounding, routing and the site noise environment still require engineering review.
Which settings deserve a photograph before removing 6DS1618-8BA?
Capture M/L reference selection, group voltage assignments, interrupt configuration, connector orientation and all field wire markers.
Which AS 220 evidence separates 6DS1618-8BA from its CA counterpart?
Supply the complete suffix and station family, plus clear card and rack labels; AS 220/220 E points to BA, while AS 235/H points to CA.
