Product Description
The DIO264 (Order Number: 00012247-00) is a high-density, versatile digital interface module for the Bachmann M1 automation platform. With 64 digital channels, it offers hybrid flexibility: 16 channels are software-configurable as either inputs or outputs. This allows the DIO264 to replace multiple dedicated I/O cards in a single M1 backplane slot, saving both cost and space.

Beyond basic switching, the module features advanced on-board processing:

  • 8 interrupt-capable inputs for high-speed event response

  • Four 32-bit counters for incremental encoder and frequency measurements

  • Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on outputs for hydraulic and pneumatic applications, enabling energy-efficient "valve economy" mode

Technical FAQ

Q: How does the "Valve Economy" (PWM) mode benefit my system?
A: PWM allows the module to supply full power to a valve for opening (pull-in), then reduce power to a lower holding level (hold), lowering heat generation and extending component lifespan.

Q: Can I use the counters for position detection with an encoder?
A: Yes. The DIO264 supports incremental encoder mode on its counter channels, providing 32-bit precision for tracking actuators or conveyor belts directly at the I/O level.
