Description
IDEC FC6A-J8A1 Micro-Smart FC6A Series Analog Input Expansion Module.. (The FC6A-J8A1 is an IDEC MicroSmart FC6A Series Analog Input Expansion Module. Analog Inputs: 8 Channels (Single-ended inputs). The core technical profile for this module includes 32.4 mm x 90 mm x 73 mm). The FC6A-J8A1 is an IDEC MicroSmart FC6A Series Analog Input Expansion Module . It is used to add 8 high-density analog input channels to an FC6A MicroSmart CPU (Plus or All-in-One) or an SX8R bus coupler, enabling the system to read values from process sensors such as flow meters, pressure transmitters, and temperature transducers. The core technical profile for this module includes: Signal & Channel Configuration Analog Inputs: 8 Channels (Single-ended inputs). Terminal Interface: Removable, pluggable M3 Screw Terminals . Supported Input Signals: The channels are individually configurable via software for standard industrial signal ranges: Voltage Inputs: 0 to 10 V DC, -10 V to +10 V DC. Current Inputs: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA. Resolution: 12-bit internal processing resolution for precise signal mapping. Power & Hardware Matrix Power Supply Voltage: 24 V DC external supply. Internal Current Draw: Draws approx. 40 mA from the 5V internal bus logic. Draws 0 mA from the 24V internal system bus (signal loops are powered via the external loop configuration). Mechanical Durability: Terminal blocks are rated for a minimum of 100 insertion/removal cycles. Physical & Environmental Dimensions (W x H x D): Standard single-width expansion block profile (approx. 32.4 mm x 90 mm x 73 mm). Operating Temperature Range: Extreme wide-range environment performance from -25°C to +65°C (Note: some specific mounting configurations or legacy documentation cite a standard baseline of -10°C to +55°C; however, the hardware is rated up to +65°C under standard ventilation). Ingress Protection: IP20. Mounting: Direct 35mm DIN rail snap or surface panel mounting using integrated pull-out clips. Industrial Certifications Hazardous Environments: Rated for Class I Division 2 (HazLoc), allowing safe placement in demanding industrial areas (such as oil/gas, chemical, or wastewater processing). Standard Compliance: CE marked, UL listed (cULus), and TUV certified
