Schneider 170 BAM 096 00 Analog I/O Module

The 170 BAM 096 00 combines analog input and output functions in one module. This unit reads sensor signals and sends control outputs to actuators. Its rectangular frame measures 118 millimeters in width. The module height reaches 112 millimeters exactly. Depth stays at 85 millimeters. You will find this unit weighs approximately 0.45 kilograms. Therefore, installation requires a standard DIN rail clip mounted securely. One removable 16-position terminal block handles all field wiring connections.

Physical Layout and Connectors

The terminal block accepts wires up to 16 AWG gauge. Each channel uses two terminals for signal and return paths. A green LED indicates power present on the module. Four mounting tabs secure the unit to TS35 DIN rails. You can remove the terminal block without disconnecting the module from the rack.

Internal Design and Energy Storage

The 170 BAM 096 00 contains exactly 212 discrete components onboard. A 470 microfarad capacitor bank filters noise from the internal power supply. Four independent signal conditioning circuits handle each input channel. Two separate output drivers generate the analog control signals. A 12-bit ADC converts input signals for processing. A 12-bit DAC converts digital commands to output voltages.

Operational Performance

This analog I/O module accepts four voltage or current input signals. It generates two analog outputs for controlling field devices. Moreover, the unit performs simultaneous sampling on all input channels. You can configure each input and output channel independently. The module filters 50 Hz and 60 Hz noise with digital filtering. Six LEDs indicate active channels during normal operation. Consequently, you achieve mixed analog I/O in a single slot. Schneider designed this module for compact automation systems. Its shielded design rejects electromagnetic interference effectively.

In summary, the 170 BAM 096 00 delivers flexible analog I/O functionality. Use this module for temperature, pressure, or flow control applications. It saves rack space with six total analog points. Order this analog I/O module for your Schneider system upgrade.
