Introduction

Apter Power now offers the Bachmann DIO248 Digital Input/Output module—designed and manufactured by Bachmann Electronics—bringing industryleading performance and reliability to automation projects worldwide.

The DIO248 is engineered for precision data handling, fast response, and seamless integration into existing control systems.

Key Specifications & Performance

· 248 channels of digital I/O in a single module, reducing rack space requirements by up to 40%.

· 1 ms update rate for realtime monitoring and control.

· 20% noiserejection improvement over prior models, enhancing signal integrity.

· Operating range from –40 °C to +70 °C, ensuring consistent performance in extreme conditions.

Core Features

1.HighDensity Layout
Consolidate up to 248 I/O points in one module, supporting compact cabinet designs.

2.Scalable Architecture
Stack modules to expand up to 1,000 points per EtherCAT network without extra gateways.

3.Onboard Diagnostics
Integrated LEDs and status registers enable fault identification, cutting troubleshooting time by up to 30%.

4.Protocol Flexibility
Native support for EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET for versatile integration.

Reliability & UptimeUnplanned downtime in manufacturing can cost an average of $22,000 per minute¹.

Thanks to rugged surge protection and isolation compliant with UL 61010 and IEC 61131, pilot users have seen a 25% reduction in unexpected stoppages, safeguarding both operations and personnel.

Application Examples

· Process Control: Valve actuation, pump status monitoring, safety interlocks.

· Factory Automation: Highspeed sorting, packaging lines, conveyor synchronization.

· Energy Management: Substation automation, smart grid monitoring, remote telemetry.

· Water Treatment: Level sensing, chemical dosing, alarm systems.

Statistical Highlights
