XEC-DP32H

Description

H-class CPU/base unit with 16 DC inputs and 16 sourcing transistor outputs (PNP), designed for compact machines that require sourcing outputs and high performance. Built-in communications (Ethernet/serial/USB) and H-class speed make it suitable for systems needing responsive I/O and limited on-board motion/counter capacity.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The DP32H is an XEC H-type main unit that provides 16× 24 VDC inputs and 16× transistor sourcing outputs, H-class scan performance (~83 ns/step family figure), high-speed counter support and standard XG5000/XGT programming compatibility. It accepts XGB expansion modules (analogs, high-speed, comms) and is intended where PNP/sourcing outputs match field device polarity. Check exact per-SKU I/O and HS channel counts in the regional manual before finalizing the BOM.

Pros

• Sourcing (PNP) outputs for compatibility with PNP sensors and actuators.
• H-class processing (fast instruction/scan times) for responsive control loops.
• Native support for XGB expansion modules and built-in serial/Ethernet ports.

Limitations

• Per-point transistor current limits require external drivers for heavier loads.
• Onboard axes/HS counts are limited versus HP variants; pick HP if many axes or many HS outputs are needed.

Typical use cases

• Compact OEM machines that use PNP wiring, mid-speed indexing machines, local logic with several sourcing outputs.
