Advantech ADAM-6250 | 15 Ch Isolated Digital I/O Module

The ADAM-6250 combines eight digital input channels with seven sink type digital output channels in a compact DIN rail mountable module for distributed automation systems. Its digital inputs accept dry and wet contact signals, with switch selectable configuration for sink NPN or source PNP compatible field devices. Inputs support 3 kHz counter operation, 3 kHz frequency measurement, inverted input status, and selectable retention or discard of counter values when power is removed.

Seven sink type digital outputs operate from 10 to 30 VDC and provide up to 100 mA per channel. The module supports pulse output up to 5 kHz along with high to low and low to high delay output functions. Dual 10/100Base TX Ethernet ports support daisy chain networking and auto bypass protection, helping reduce field cabling and preserve downstream communication when a module loses power. Peer to Peer communication and Graphic Condition Logic provide configurable local control options without requiring an additional controller or custom programming.

ADAM-6250 Industrial Digital I/O Module Features

  1. Eight Digital Inputs For Field Device Monitoring
    The ADAM-6250 provides eight digital input channels for monitoring switches, sensors, machine status signals, alarms, and dry or wet contact field devices.

  2. Seven Sink Type Digital Outputs For DC Load Control
    Seven sink type outputs provide switching control for compatible 10 to 30 VDC field loads with a normal output current of up to 100 mA per channel.

  3. Configurable Dry And Wet Contact Signal Support
    Digital inputs support dry contact and wet contact operation, selected through a switch. The module supports sink NPN and source PNP compatible input device types.

  4. Counter Frequency And Pulse Output Functions
    The module supports 3 kHz counter input, 3 kHz frequency input, and 5 kHz pulse output functions. Counter data may be retained or discarded when power is removed to suit application requirements.

  5. Daisy Chain Ethernet Connectivity
    Two 10/100Base TX Ethernet ports enable daisy chain network connections. Auto bypass protection maintains downstream Ethernet communication if a module unexpectedly loses power.

  6. Peer To Peer And Graphic Condition Logic Control
    Peer to Peer communication supports direct I/O mapping between compatible modules, while Graphic Condition Logic enables user defined local automation rules. Only one of these functions can be enabled at a time.

  7. Built In Status Indication And Industrial Protection
    LED indicators provide status for all eight digital inputs and seven digital outputs. The ADAM-6250 includes 2,500 VDC isolation, TVS and ESD protection, ±35 VDC overvoltage protection, and power reversal protection.
