Phoenix Contact IB ST 24 DO 32/2 Industrial Control System I/O MODULE 2754325

Phoenix Contact IB ST 24 DO 32/2 Industrial Control System I/O MODULE IDENT 189

 2754325

The Phoenix Contact IB ST 24 DO 32/2 (Order Number: 2754325) is a high-density, 32-channel digital output module from the robust Inline station automation system. Designed for industrial control applications, this module acts as a critical interface between a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a wide array of field actuators, such as relays, valves, motors, and indicators.

It is a core component for building decentralized, modular, and high-performance automation systems in demanding environments.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Product Type: Digital Output Module (DO)

• Number of Channels: 32

• Output Type: Semiconductor outputs (PNP), organized in two groups of 16.

• Rated Voltage: 24 V DC

• Output Current per Channel: 0.5 A

• Total Current per Group (16 channels): 4 A max

• Connection Technology: Spring-loaded cage clamp (push-in), for fast, tool-free wiring.

• Fieldbus Connection: Integrated via the Inline station base. Compatible with all major fieldbus protocols (e.g., PROFINET, EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP) when used with the appropriate coupler.

• Diagnostics: Extensive diagnostic capabilities (e.g., short-circuit, wire-break, overload) can be reported back to the controller via the fieldbus.

• Module Housing: High-grade plastic with a robust, snap-on design for secure mounting on the DIN rail.

• Status Indication: LED per channel for output status and group fault indication for quick troubleshooting.

Primary Applications & Use Cases

This module is engineered for applications requiring the control of a large number of devices from a centralized or decentralized control system. Typical uses include:

• Automated Assembly Lines: Controlling solenoids, pneumatic valves, and status lamps.

• Packaging Machinery: Actuating motors, clutches, and warning signals.

• Material Handling Systems: Operating conveyor belts, sorting gates, and stacker cranes.

• Industrial Process Control: Managing pumps, fans, and other on/off process devices.

• Automation Panels: Controlling cabinet cooling fans, power supplies, and general purpose relays.

Main Benefits for the User

1. High Channel Density: With 32 outputs in a single module, it saves significant space in the control cabinet, reducing hardware costs and panel size.

2. Modularity and Scalability: As part of the Phoenix Contact Inline system, it can be easily combined with other I/O modules (digital input, analog, special function) to create a perfectly tailored control station.

3. Fast Installation: The use of spring-loaded cage clamps drastically reduces wiring time compared to traditional screw terminals.

4. High Reliability & Diagnostics: Built for industrial environments, it offers protection against short-circuits and overloads. Detailed diagnostics minimize machine downtime by enabling fast fault localization.

5. Wide Protocol Compatibility: By selecting the appropriate Inline fieldbus coupler, this module can be seamlessly integrated into virtually any modern industrial network.

System Integration & Compatibility
