The card also includes a PTC probe input (750 Ohm impedance) for direct motor thermal protection — the drive reads the PTC resistance and trips on over-temperature without a separate relay. ## Supply and protection — what the 24 V rail powers The card draws its internal supply from the drive's 24 VDC bus (21–27 V range) and generates a separate 10 VDC (9–11 V) rail for the logic inputs, drawing under 0.01 A with a 1–10 kOhm impedance for overload and short-circuit protection. Reverse polarity protection is built into the digital input circuit, and the output has short-circuit protection — so a miswire on the field side won't take out the card or the drive backplane. ## Connection and durability — field wiring reality Field wiring terminates on a screw terminal block accepting 1.5 mm² (AWG 16) — standard for control cabinet wiring, no special crimp tool needed. The open-collector logic output is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles at full load — adequate for signalling and low-power switching but not for direct solenoid or contactor coil drive without an interposing relay. ## Lifecycle status — obsolete, sourced through independent channels Available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement exists from Schneider — a drive upgrade or I/O reconfiguration is required for new designs.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric VW3A58201 Extended I/O Card, Altivar 58","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric VW3A58201 extended I/O card for Altivar 58 drives. 1 analog I/O, 2 logic inputs, 1 logic output, 24 VDC supply.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Motor Control Accessories"],"specifications":{"Supply":"Internal supply, 24 V DC (21...27 V) , Internal supply for logic inputs, 10 V DC (9...11 V) , <0.01 A, impedance: 1...10 kOhm for overload and short-circuit protection","PTC probe input":"resistance PTC, impedance: 750 Ohm","Protection type":"Reverse polarity protection: digital input Short-circuit protection: output","lifecycle_stage":"mature","Input/output type":"1 analog output 0...20 mA 1 analogue input differential 2 logic input impedance 1 logic output voltage analog input","Analogue input type":"AI differential: 0...10 V DC, 24 V, impedance: 30000 Ohm, resolution: 10 bits","Analogue output type":"AO switch-configurable current: 0...20 mA DC, impedance: 500 Ohm, sampling time: 2 ms, resolution: 9 bits + sign","Analogue input number":"1","Discrete output logic":"Negative Positive","Electrical connection":"Screw terminal block, 1.5 mm² / AWG 16","Electrical durability":"100000 cycles for open collector","Analogue output number":"1","Discrete input voltage":"24 V DC (voltage limits: <= 30 V) for assignable","Discrete output number":"1","Maximum output current":"0.2 A, assignable logic","Discrete output voltage":"24 V DC (voltage limits: 12...30 V) assignable logic","Minimum switching current":"5 mA at 24 V DC","Product or component type":"Extended I/O card"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$690.85","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/id/en/product/VW3A58201/extended-input-output-card-altivar-58/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/VW3A58201/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy VW3A58201 or check stock?","answer":"The VW3A58201 is sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/VW3A58201","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/VW3A58201 when reusing this data.
