Product details

An IS discrete input module is used to safely interface discrete signals (e.g., switches, sensors) with a control system or safety system. Its intrinsic safety ensures that, in the event of a fault or malfunction, the energy levels within the module are kept below the levels that could cause ignition.

Here are some key points about an IS discrete input module:

1. Intrinsic Safety: The module is designed and certified to meet the requirements for intrinsic safety. This ensures that under fault conditions, the electrical energy output from the module is limited to safe levels.
2. Discrete Signals: The module accepts discrete signals from sensors, switches, or other field devices. These signals are typically binary (on/off, open/closed).
3. Hazardous Environments: The module is intended for use in hazardous locations where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable materials.
4. Isolation and Barriers: To achieve intrinsic safety, the module often incorporates isolation barriers or galvanic isolation to prevent the transmission of hazardous energy levels to the field devices.
5. Certification: The module is typically certified by a recognized safety organization (e.g., ATEX, IECEx, CSA, etc.) for use in specific hazardous locations and environments.
6. Integration: The module interfaces with a control system or safety system, allowing the discrete signals to be monitored and processed by the system.

Schneider Electric offers a wide range of products for industrial automation and control, including intrinsically safe devices. However, it is important to consult the specific product documentation and certification information to ensure that the module meets your application's requirements and safety standards.
