Rated voltage and nominal voltages of digital inputs in CPU card and option cards

Nominal and rated voltages of digital inputs on main CPU board

All AQ-200 series units always come with two or three digital inputs in the main CPU board. The rated voltage (maximum operation voltage) of these inputs are always 265 V (AC/DC). The nominal voltage of these digital inputs can be 24, 110 and 220 V (AC/DC). Nominal voltage defines the voltage level at which digital input activates and deactivates. Nominal voltage of these digital inputs is done when ordering the units.

Nominal and rated voltages of digital inputs on option cards

All AQ-200 series can be ordered with digital input option cards to extend the functionality of the device (with the exception of AQ-F201). These digital inputs also have rated voltage of 265 V (AC/DC) but there isn't any nominal voltage. Instead the activation voltage and release voltage thresholds are defined when configuring the device.
