Overview
The BMXDDI1603H is a Modicon X80 discrete input module from Schneider, packing 16 isolated inputs at 48 V DC with a 4 ms response time and positive logic (sink) wiring. Rated for 30 gn shock and sealed to IP20 with conformal coating, it carries CE, UKCA, CULus, RCM, and EAC markings for global panel approvals.
Selection and integration
Compared to the BMXDAI1603, which accepts IEC 61131-2 Type 3 sensors, the BMXDDI1603H is limited to Type 1 sensors per IEC 61131-2 — so a panel wired for Type 3 proximity sensors will need rewiring before swapping. The 4 ms response suits most discrete sensing loops, but for high-speed counting or encoder inputs, a dedicated counter module is needed.
The BMXDDI1603H is an active Modicon X80 catalogue module; lead time is quoted per RFQ and typically runs a few weeks for this build code. Compliance documentation includes the low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU and EMC directive 2014/30/EU, with certifications for ATEX zone 2, IECEx zone 2, and CULus HazLoc.
