8-channel analog input for iQ-R
The R60ADI8 is an 8-channel analog current input module for the MELSEC iQ-R series. It occupies 16 I/O points on the CPU and draws 0,21 A from the backplane. The module accepts 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA signals via screw terminals. Rated for marine and offshore applications — carries ABS, BV, DNV GL, LR, NK, and RINA type approvals. That makes it a fit for shipboard automation, drilling packages, and any spec that calls for class-society certified equipment. Width is 27,8 mm — standard iQ-R slot pitch. Height 106 mm, depth 131 mm. Screw wiring means field termination with standard ferrule or bare wire, no special connector needed.
Peer comparison — R60AD8-G
The R60AD8-G uses connector wiring, draws 0,33 A, occupies 32 I/O points; the R60ADI8 uses screw wiring, draws 0,21 A, occupies 16 I/O points. Panel swap requires rewiring and I/O map changes.
Panel integration notes
Mounts in any iQ-R rack slot (27,8 mm wide). The module draws 0,21 A and accepts 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA via screw terminals. Factor into backplane power budget.
