It mounts inside a standard Altivar enclosure — the module cannot be ordered alone, only in combination with a standard enclosure. The two analog inputs (AI1, AI2) are configurable as current (0…20 mA / 4…20 mA), voltage (−10…10 V DC, 24 V max), or probe inputs (PTC, Pt 100, Pt 1000), all with 14-bit resolution and a 0…1 ms sampling time. This means the module can handle both standard 4-20 mA loop signals from pressure/flow transmitters and direct RTD temperature probes without an external signal conditioner — a single I/O slot covers both analog and temperature sensing. The six discrete inputs (DI11…DI16) are programmable for negative or positive logic, accepting 24 V DC (limits ≤ 30 V) with 2.5 mA draw per input. The 250 Ω input impedance and 1 ms sampling time suit it for standard 24 V DC proximity sensors and limit switches — no special sourcing needed. The two discrete outputs (DQ11, DQ12) are assignable logic outputs, 24 V DC (≤ 30 V), rated 100 mA each. That 100 mA per channel means they can drive small relays or indicator lamps directly, but not contactor coils or solenoid valves without an interposing relay. ## Protection and connection The module includes reverse polarity protection on the digital inputs and short-circuit protection on the outputs — so a miswired sensor supply or a shorted output channel won't take out the module or the drive's backplane. Connection is via a removable spring-cage terminal block accepting 1.5 mm² / AWG 16, which speeds panel wiring and allows pre-termination before installation.","metaTitle":"Schneider VW3AP3203 Altivar I/O Module, 6DI/2DO/2AI","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric VW3AP3203 additional I/O module for Altivar drives. 6 discrete inputs, 2 discrete outputs, 2 analog inputs configurable for voltage/current/Pt100.
