DIGITAL INPUT MODULE UNIT QX40 MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC
The Mitsubishi QX40 is a digital input module designed for use with Mitsubishi’s Q series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It’s a crucial component for interfacing your PLC with the real world, allowing it to receive signals from sensors and other input devices.
Key Features of the QX40:
- 16 Input Points: It provides 16 digital input channels, allowing you to connect up to 16 different input devices.
- 24V DC Input: Designed to accept 24V DC input signals, which is a common standard in industrial automation.
- Sink Type: It’s a “sink type” input module, meaning it sources current from the input device.
- High-Speed Response: Offers a fast response time, enabling it to quickly detect changes in the input signals.
- Compact Design: It’s designed to be compact, making it suitable for installations where space is limited.
- Isolation: Provides electrical isolation between the input channels and the PLC’s internal circuitry, protecting the PLC from voltage spikes or noise.
How it Works:
The QX40 module connects to the PLC’s backplane and receives power from the PLC’s power supply. When an input device connected to the QX40 changes state (e.g., a switch closes), the module detects this change and sends a corresponding signal to the PLC.
