Can a DO point be turned into a DI point?

2017-03-31View Original

Thread Content

Hello everyone. Due to on-site modifications that require additional IO signals, the DCS cabinet needs to be expanded. It has been found that there are not enough spare DI points in the cabinet, but there is still some capacity left for DO points. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect the on-site DI signals to the cabinet’s DO points, or to convert some of the cabinet’s DO points into DI points? Waiting online, in a hurry, thanks!

Try listening with your mouth while someone speaks with their ears~ If that works, it should be possible to make the change~

Some DCS card modules can be done through settings; you should ask the DCS manufacturer for details.

Do you know what it means to put the cart before the horse?

It probably won’t work; the card components and terminal boards are different, so how can it be fixed?

Generally, it’s not possible, but some say it’s a universal terminal; so ultimately it depends on your specific product. Consult the manufacturer

:Lol, unless you’re using Emerson’s Logic Solver or Foxboro’s FBM247 universal module, whose channels can be configured as AI/AO/DI/DO according to your needs.
