Description
1. Product Description
The DI524 (1SAP240000R0001) is a high-performance digital input module by ABB, designed for industrial automation systems. As part of the ABB AC500/S500 series, the DI524 offers 32 galvanically isolated digital inputs for 24V DC signals, grouped into four channels (1.0–1.7, 2.0–2.7, 3.0–3.7, 4.0–4.7). It features a compact design (62×76×67.5mm) with LED indicators for real-time status monitoring, making it ideal for PLC/DCS control systems in manufacturing, energy, and process industries. The module supports configurable input delays (0.1–32 ms) and fast counter functionality (up to 50 kHz on selected inputs). With a wide input voltage range (10.8–30V DC) and IP20 protection, the DI524 balances durability and flexibility. An XC version is available for extreme environments (-10°C to 60°C), ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with ABB AC500/S500 systems (PM5xx CPUs, TU5xx backplanes).
- Environment: Choose XC version for outdoor/harsh conditions (temperature <0°C or high humidity).
- Channel Needs: Opt for DI524 (32 inputs) for high-density systems; smaller projects may use DI521 (16 inputs).
- Counter Functionality: Use inputs I24/I25 for fast counting (e.g., conveyor speed monitoring).
- Budget: Balance channel density and XC features against project requirements (XC version has a premium cost).
7. Precautions
- Installation: Mount horizontally on a DIN rail (IP20; use IP65 enclosure for outdoor use).
- Wiring: Follow ABB’s 1-wire configuration (terminals 1.0–4.7 for inputs, 1.8–4.8/+24V, 1.9–4.9/0V).
- Voltage Stability: Maintain supply voltage within 20.4–28.8V DC (process supply) and 10.8–30V DC (input).
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect LED indicators; clean dust using a dry cloth (non-conductive environment).
- Cable Shielding: Use shielded cables for long runs (>600m) to reduce noise interference.
