Product Description:

The RME02.2-16-DC024 is an input module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RECO Drive Modules series. It installs on a RECO backplane to provide discrete signal acquisition, forwarding up to sixteen 24 VDC field contacts to motion or logic controllers inside automated lines. By translating sensor or switch states into the standardized voltage domain used throughout the manufacturer’s drive platform, the module enables coordinated machine interlocks, start/stop chains, and status reporting.

This unit is engineered for a nominal control potential of 24 VDC; an input is recognized as logic-high once the terminal sees at least 17 V and remains logic-low as long as it stays below 8 V. Each channel draws no more than 10 mA, so sixteen inputs can be serviced without overloading the upstream sensor supply. The board houses exactly 16 opto-isolated points, allowing compact mapping of field devices while keeping the PLC program structure straightforward. These electrical thresholds keep the module immune to noise typical of industrial wiring runs and guarantee reliable edge detection even when long cable harnesses are used.

Internally, connections are arranged in two rows of eight, identified by the 2 x 8 input layout, which simplifies ribbon-cable or keyed-plug assembly during panel integration. Mechanical dimensions of 41.3 × 192 × 81 mm match the slot spacing of other RECO cards, so airflow and service access remain consistent across the rack. A mass of 290 g keeps strain off the backplane while still adding stiffness that aids vibration resistance. The module follows the design envelope of the RECO Drive Modules family, ensuring common mounting hardware, shared terminal labeling, and unified diagnostic LEDs across mixed-function racks.
