XBM/XEM-DP32H2

Description

H-class base unit with 16 DC inputs and 16 DC outputs (sourcing), offering a useful mix of I/O and a small high-speed I/O complement for counting and pulse tasks. Good where sourcing outputs are needed (PNP).

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The DP32H2 is the sourcing-output (DP family) H2 variant: 16 inputs and 16 outputs (sourcing), with around 4 high-speed inputs and 2 high-speed outputs, Ethernet/serial/USB ports on the faceplate, and H-class performance for compact motion and fast I/O. Choose DP variants when the field devices expect sourcing outputs or PNP wiring.

Pros

• Sourcing outputs for PNP-type field devices, avoiding polarity conversions.
• H-class processing and HS I/O for responsive control.

Limitations

• Sourcing outputs still limited per-point current; use external drivers for heavy loads.
• H2 axis capability modest; consider HP if many axes or heavy motion required.

Typical use cases

• Machines with PNP sensors and sourcing actuators, compact systems needing a small set of high-speed signals.
