Information About T1K-16ND3

The T1K-16ND3 is a discrete input module designed for integration into PLC-based machine control systems. Manufactured by Automation Direct, this module is categorized under VDC Logic I/O Modules, specifically engineered to handle digital input signals with precision and reliability. Weighing 0.24 lbs, the T1K-16ND3 is compact yet robust, making it an ideal choice for applications where space constraints and reliability are critical factors.

This input module is designed to interface with 12-24 VDC nominal input voltage, allowing it to handle a wide range of DC signals commonly found in industrial automation environments. The module supports both sinking and sourcing input types, providing flexibility in how it can be integrated into different system architectures. This dual capability ensures that the T1K-16ND3 can accommodate various input signal types, enhancing its versatility in diverse applications.

The T1K-16ND3 offers 16 discrete input points, making it suitable for systems that require multiple input channels for monitoring and control. Each input channel is designed to process digital signals with high accuracy, ensuring that the system receives precise and timely data. The module is particularly suited for applications where reliable digital signal acquisition is essential, such as in automated manufacturing, process control, and machinery operation.

This input module does not feature a fast response capability, which indicates that it is optimized for standard input processing rather than high-speed applications. However, its design is well-suited for most industrial control tasks where rapid input response is not a critical requirement. The focus on reliable and consistent performance makes the T1K-16ND3 an excellent choice for applications where stability and long-term reliability are more important than ultra-fast signal processing.

The module is equipped with 4 isolated input commons, with 4 input points assigned to each common. This configuration provides additional protection against electrical noise and potential cross-talk between input signals, which is crucial in maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The isolation of input commons ensures that each group of inputs operates independently, reducing the risk of interference and improving overall system reliability.

Installation and integration of the T1K-16ND3 are straightforward, as the module requires a T1K-16B or T1K-16B-1 terminal base for operation. This base provides the necessary electrical connections and physical support for the module, making it easy to incorporate into existing systems. The use of a standardized terminal base simplifies the installation process and ensures compatibility with other modules in the system, allowing for flexible and scalable system design.

One of the key features of the T1K-16ND3 is its repairability, which is included in the pricing of the module. This aspect ensures that the module can be maintained and serviced throughout its operational life, reducing the total cost of ownership and extending the lifespan of the equipment. The availability of repair services means that users can continue to rely on the T1K-16ND3 for extended periods, even in demanding industrial environments where wear and tear are inevitable.

In terms of construction, the T1K-16ND3 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Its design prioritizes durability and reliability, ensuring that it can operate effectively in harsh conditions typical of industrial settings. Whether exposed to temperature fluctuations, vibration, or electrical noise, the T1K-16ND3 is engineered to maintain its performance and deliver consistent results.

Overall, the T1K-16ND3 discrete input module from Automation Direct is a versatile and reliable component designed for industrial control systems. Its 16 input points, support for 12-24 VDC nominal input voltage, and sinking/sourcing capabilities make it adaptable to a wide range of applications. The inclusion of isolated input commons enhances signal integrity, while the requirement for a T1K-16B or T1K-16B-1 terminal base ensures easy installation and system integration. With repairability included in its pricing, the T1K-16ND3 offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution for industrial automation needs, making it an excellent choice for engineers and system designers seeking a reliable input module for their PLC systems.
