ZIPLINK ZL-LTB32-24

The ZIPLINK ZL-LTB32-24 is a 32-point sensor input module designed to simplify wiring and troubleshooting in industrial automation systems. It's often used with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) from manufacturers like AutomationDirect.

Product Details

The ZL-LTB32-24 is a ZIPLink sensor input module with 32 points for connecting sensors or other input devices. A key feature is its LED indication for each input, providing immediate visual feedback on device status, which greatly aids in troubleshooting. It operates on 24 VDC and is designed for DIN rail mounting, making it easy to integrate into control cabinets. It simplifies complex wiring by providing a logical and organized termination point for 3-wire sensors.
