Overview
The Honeywell TC-IDJ161 is a 16-point isolated digital input module designed to receive 24 VDC signals from field devices in industrial control systems. It supports IEC Type 1+ input characteristics and provides individual channel isolation, as well as user-to-system isolation tested at 2546 VDC. Furthermore, programmable input delays allow the module to accommodate different signal response requirements.

Input Signal Characteristics
The TC-IDJ161 accepts 24 VDC field signals within a 10-30 VDC on-state voltage range. An input voltage of 5 VDC or lower represents the specified off-state condition. The module also defines minimum on-state current and maximum off-state current requirements, which help establish the electrical conditions for reliable input state detection.
Isolation and Input Protection
The module provides channel-to-channel and user-to-system isolation, with both isolation categories tested at 2546 VDC. In addition, its short-circuit and inrush current characteristics specify a peak current of 250 mA, decaying to less than 37% within 22 ms without activating the input. These ratings are relevant when checking field wiring and input circuit conditions.
Input Delay Configuration
The TC-IDJ161 supports programmable ON/OFF input delays of 1 ms, 2 ms, 9 ms, and 18 ms. Therefore, users can select the required delay according to the response characteristics of connected field signals. The selected setting affects how quickly the module recognizes an input state change.
Terminal Block Connection
The module is compatible with Honeywell TC-TBCH terminal blocks. Furthermore, the terminal block selection should be checked against the actual module installation and wiring configuration before replacement or commissioning.
