Oiltech Controls Review

“This input module offers flexible logic support for Series 90-70 systems. The selectable filter handles noisy environments. Interrupt input adds real-time response capability.”

Oiltech Controls Insight

“Keep this module as a spare for critical I/O racks. Its 4 isolated groups reduce ground loop issues. Configuration is quick – no hardware jumpers to set.”

Typical Applications

• PLC input racks for industrial automation
• Discrete sensor monitoring (proximity switches)
• Motor control center status inputs
• Conveyor system logic inputs
• Retrofit projects for Series 90-70 systems

Professional FAQ

• What is the difference between 1 ms and 10 ms filter settings?
  1 ms gives faster response; 10 ms rejects more electrical noise – choose based on your environment.
• Can I use this module with 24 VDC sensors?
  No, it requires 125 VDC – check your sensor voltage before connecting.
• How do I configure the interrupt input?
  Use the software configuration tool – assign one of the 16 inputs as interrupt in the PLC program.
• Is this module compatible with Series 90-30 racks?
  No, it is designed exclusively for Series 90-70 racks.
• What does positive/negative logic mean?
  It means the module can accept current sourcing (positive) or sinking (negative) field devices.

Experienced Q&A

• Can I mix logic types on different groups?
  Yes, each of the 4 isolated groups can be wired independently for positive or negative logic.
• How do I know if the filter is set correctly?
  Monitor input response time – if noise causes false triggers, increase to 10 ms.
• Does this module support hot-swap?
  No, power down the rack before insertion or removal.

Selection Guide

• Confirm your system uses Series 90-70 PLC.
• Verify your field sensors operate at 125 VDC.
• Check if you need interrupt capability – only one channel supports it.
• Select filter time based on your noise environment.
