Current-limiting terminations for automation digital inputs

CLT devices form a new series of intelligent protected terminations designed for digital-input modules and proximity-sensor interfaces in industrial and building automation systems.

Today’s designers face the challenge of increasing the number of I/Os per volume unit and increasing the I/O-interface features. The CLT series offers compact, highly-immune solutions which resist transient disturbances such as those described in the IEC 61000-4 standard. As a result, the CLT series cuts losses of the digital input by more than 2.
The SCLT3-8B, a serialized 8-input termination circuit, is a new addition to the CLT3-4B and PCLT-2A range.
