5.5 STCIS#A Simplex Contact Input

The Simplex Contact Input (STCI) terminal board is a compact contact input terminal board designed for DIN-rail or flat
mounting. The STCI board accepts 24 contact inputs that are supplied with a nominal 24/48 V dc excitation from an external
source. The contact inputs have noise suppression to protect against surge and high-frequency noise. The I/O pack plugs into
the D-type connector and communicates with the controller over Ethernet.

5.5.1 Installation
The STCI plus a plastic insulator mounts on a sheet metal carrier that then mounts on a DIN-rail. Optionally, the STCI plus
insulator mounts on a sheet metal assembly that then bolts in a cabinet. The contact inputs are wired directly to the terminal
block, typically using #18 AWG wires. Shields should be terminated on a separate bracket. 52 terminals inputs are available.
Note E1 and E2 are chassis grounding screws for SCOM.
