Technical Specifications 

The D3-16ND2F is a 16-point input module designed for use in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and machine control systems, specifically within the Automation Direct DirectLOGIC 305 (DL305) series. This module serves as an essential component for integrating discrete 24VDC input signals into the control system, providing precise and reliable data input for various industrial automation applications. It is categorized under PLC Module/Rack systems and is used to expand the input capacity of the PLC, allowing for greater control and monitoring capabilities.

The D3-16ND2F features 16 input points, each designed to accept 24VDC input signals from external devices such as sensors, switches, or other field devices. The module is engineered to handle these discrete input signals efficiently, allowing the PLC to process and react to real-time data. This input module is ideal for applications where multiple input points are required, offering a scalable and flexible solution for expanding the I/O capacity of the DL305 control system.

One of the key features of the D3-16ND2F is its fast response time of 0.8 milliseconds. This rapid response capability ensures that input signals are processed quickly, allowing the control system to react in near real-time to changes in the environment or system conditions. The fast response time is critical in applications where timing is essential, such as high-speed machinery, process control, or automated systems where immediate responses to input signals are required to maintain optimal performance and safety.

The module includes two internally connected commons, which help organize and streamline the wiring of input signals. The use of internally connected commons simplifies the installation process, reducing the complexity of wiring and ensuring that the module is easy to integrate into existing systems. This feature is particularly useful in applications where multiple input signals are being processed simultaneously, as it helps maintain a clean and organized setup while reducing potential wiring errors.

The D3-16ND2F is equipped with a removable terminal block, which provides an additional level of convenience for installation and maintenance. The removable terminal allows for easy connection and disconnection of wiring, making it simple to replace or maintain the module without requiring a complete system shutdown. This feature is especially beneficial in industrial environments where minimizing downtime is critical to maintaining production efficiency. The ability to quickly replace or service the module without disrupting operations ensures that the system remains operational and productive.

In terms of construction, the D3-16ND2F is built to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Its robust design ensures long-term durability, even in harsh conditions where electrical noise, temperature fluctuations, or mechanical vibrations are present. This durability is essential for maintaining the reliability of the input signals and ensuring that the control system operates consistently over time. The module’s construction and design are optimized for high performance, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

The D3-16ND2F is fully compatible with the Automation Direct DL305 series of PLCs, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. Its standardized design allows it to fit easily into a DL305 rack, expanding the system’s input capacity without requiring significant modifications. This compatibility makes the D3-16ND2F an ideal solution for upgrading or expanding automation systems that are already utilizing the DL305 series. The module’s ability to integrate smoothly with other system components helps reduce installation time and effort, allowing for quick deployment in both new and existing systems.

This 16-point input module is ideal for use in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and material handling. It is particularly well-suited for applications that require multiple input signals to be monitored and processed quickly, such as assembly lines, automated sorting systems, or packaging machinery. The module’s fast response time, combined with its robust design and easy installation features, ensures that it can meet the demands of even the most challenging industrial environments.

In summary, the D3-16ND2F is a high-performance 16-point input module designed for use in Automation Direct’s DirectLOGIC 305 PLC system. With its 24VDC input capability, fast 0.8 millisecond response time, and two internally connected commons, this module provides reliable and efficient input signal processing for industrial automation applications. The removable terminal block simplifies installation and maintenance, while the rugged design ensures long-lasting durability in harsh environments. Ideal for expanding input capacity, the D3-16ND2F offers a flexible and reliable solution for controlling and monitoring industrial processes in a wide range of applications.
