Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What voltage signals can the 170ADI54050 monitor?

This module is specifically designed for 120V AC signals within a range of 85-132V AC. It is ideal for monitoring AC power status and contact closures.

Why is high isolation voltage important?

The 1780V AC isolation protects the sensitive Momentum PLC electronics from high-voltage spikes and noise. This is critical in industrial environments with heavy machinery.

Can this module monitor lower voltage AC signals?

While it will detect voltages down to 85V AC reliably, for lower AC voltages (like 24V AC), a different input module would be more appropriate.

What is the main use case for this module?

The 170ADI54050 is perfect for monitoring the status of 120V AC circuits, power supplies, and contactors directly without additional interfacing relays.

How does this differ from DC input modules?

This module is designed for AC voltage monitoring, while modules like the 170ADM37010 handle DC signals. Choose based on your signal type and voltage level.
