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.
