Certifications: CE, UL 508, GL marine certification, conforme à la norme EN 61000 EMC industrial standards

4. Structure interne & Définition du terminal

16 chaînes divisées en 4 isolated groups:

Group1: CH0～CH3

Group2: CH4～CH7

Group3: CH8～CH11

Group4: CH12～CH15

⚠️ Important Wiring Rule: The common terminal of one isolated group must share the same 24 V polarity; Do NOT connect separate, non-referenced 24 V power supplies to different isolated groups, otherwise potential difference may damage the isolation circuit.

Wiring Configurations

1. Sourcing Input (PNP Capteur)

Sensor output connects to module DI terminal; module common terminals connect to 0V(GND)

2. Sinking Input (Capteur NPN)

Sensor power terminal connects to 24V+, sensor output to DI terminal; module common terminals connect to +24V

5. Principe de fonctionnement

External digital sensor signal → Front-end RC hardware filter circuit → Optocoupler isolation group → Signal shaping circuit → X20 bus communication chip

The controller cyclically reads channel status via X2X/X20 CPU. Filter time parameters can be configured in Automation Studio to suppress contact bounce and interference pulses generated by inverters.

6. Software Information

Logiciel de programmation: Studio d'automatisation 4.0 and all later versions supported

Hardware Identification: Standard X20 device description built-in library, no extra GSD file required

Image de processus: Automatic channel address mapping; support signal forcing & online signal monitoring

Fonctions prises en charge: Channel diagnosis (no wire break detection, X20DI9371 does not support wire break diagnosis)

7. Comparaison des modèles & Compatible Replacement

Comparison with similar models in X20 series

✅ Direct Replacement Conditions

If X20DI9371 is used in existing projects:

Upgrade for higher anti-interference performance: X20DI9372 (pin assignment compatible, aucune modification du programme requise, wiring fully interchangeable; only difference is enhanced isolation performance)

❌ Not directly interchangeable: X20DI4371 has different channel quantity and terminal layout of base unit

8. Scénarios d'application typiques

Machines-outils, machines d'emballage, material handling conveyors, rubber & plastic equipment, traitement de l'eau, general automation production lines

Signal acquisition: Proximity switches, capteurs photoélectriques, interrupteurs de fin de course, boutons-poussoirs, passive relay contacts

9. Directives d'installation & Dépannage

Strict Prohibitions

1. Never apply voltage higher than 30 VCC, will permanently damage input circuits
2. Do not connect two non-common-ground 24 V power supplies to different isolated groups
3. Avoid parallel routing of signal cables and power cables (strong electrical interference leads to flickering signals)

Défauts courants

1. Channel LED always ON: Signal wire short-circuited to ground; abnormal power supply for PNP sensor
2. Signal intermittent fluctuation: Severe electromagnetic interference → increase hardware filter time; check shielding & mise à la terre
3. All channels in one group no signal: Loss of power supply to the corresponding group common terminal
4. Compatible Base Units

Socle standard: X20BM01 (screw terminal base)

Optional base: X20BM11 (spring-cage quick connect terminal)

Base must be ordered separately; terminal base is NOT included with the module!

Wiring Specifications Recap

1. Capteur PNP (Sourcing Input, Industry Standard)

All COM0/COM1/COM2/COM3 → connect to 24 VDC 0V(GND)

Sensor signal wire to DIx, sensor positive terminal to 24V+

2. Capteur NPN (Sinking Input)

All COM0/COM1/COM2/COM3 → connect to +24 VCC

Sensor signal wire to DIx, sensor negative terminal to 0V

⚠️ Important: COM0/COM1/COM2/COM3 are galvanically isolated from each other.

Do not connect different COM terminals to power supplies with non-shared ground potential!
