Schneider DAP 216 Discrete Output Module

The Schneider DAP 216 delivers dependable discrete output switching for industrial automation systems. This module features sixteen relay outputs designed for demanding field device control. Engineers will value its robust construction and straightforward integration capabilities.

Technical Specifications & Performance

This output module operates with 16 discrete points to manage valves, motors, and indicator lights. Each relay channel supports 2A continuous current at 240V AC or 30V DC. The DAP 216 incorporates 1500V RMS isolation between field wiring and the backplane bus.

Specifically, the device measures approximately 120 mm in height, 40 mm in width, and 90 mm in depth. Its total weight reaches roughly 0.35 kg, allowing for stable mounting on standard DIN rails. Additionally, this module contains no internal energy storage components, which simplifies maintenance procedures.

Application & Integration

You can install this module directly into the Advantys or Modicon PLC platform with minimal effort. The signal isolation feature effectively eliminates ground loop interference from field devices. Each of the 16 points operates independently, offering you maximum flexibility for machine control sequences.

Moreover, this discrete output module supports both AC and DC load types seamlessly. Its relay outputs provide reliable switching even under moderate inrush current conditions. For similar industrial control components, you can explore the RMS TSG TZ C Static Trip unit series.

Installation & Physical Layout

The physical design of the Schneider DAP 216 facilitates rapid panel integration and wiring. Technicians will find the removable terminal blocks clearly labeled for error-free connections. The unit’s compact dimensions enable high-density mounting within crowded automation enclosures.

Furthermore, the module incorporates no internal energy storage elements across its circuitry. This characteristic eliminates any discharge waiting time during system power-down. Consequently, you can replace or service the unit quickly without safety delays.
