About the D4-64TD1
D4-64TD1 is a Direct Current (DC) Discrete Output module manufactured by Automation Direct. A member of the DirectLogic 405 series, this 64-channel device is designed to interface with DL405 programmable logic controllers. All available outputs, of which there are 64, are labeled as current sinking outputs. These outputs all terminate into one of the eight non-isolated commons found in the module.
Monitoring voltage and current levels can prevent D4-64TD1 from overloading or damage. While in use, an operating voltage between 4.75 and 26.4 VDC is required, with a peak voltage of 36 VDC. The output type produced on the D4-64TD1 module is labeled as an NPN open collector. The 64 channels on the module can sustain a maximum resistive current of 0.1 A per point, while each of the eight commons can withstand 1 A per common; with all of the channels and commons available on this unit, the module can sustain up to 7 A of resistive current.
Like most modules, the D4-64TD1 unit is temperature sensitive and should be maintained in a climate-controlled environment. While operating, temperatures can safely fall as low as 0°C, or 32°F, and as high as 60°C, or 140°F. Storage temperatures offer more flexibility, with temperatures capable of safely ranging from -20°C to 70°C or -4°F to 158°F. A complete installation and wiring guide can be found in the user manual and the device datasheet.
One thing that should be noted prior to the installation of the D4-64TD1 device with a CPU base is that the module cannot be installed along with specialty slots.
