YOKOGAWA F3WD64-3P Input/Output Module

YOKOGAWA F3WD64-3P 64-Point Input/Output Module

Product Introduction

The F3WD64-3P is a combined input/output module for Yokogawa's FA-M3 controller family. Specifically, it packs 32 DC inputs and 32 sink-type transistor outputs into a single slot. Engineers use it in panels where space is tight and mixed signal handling is needed, such as conveyor stations, machine tools, and test benches. Inputs occupy terminal numbers 01 to 32, while outputs cover terminals 33 to 64. Both blocks are arranged in groups of eight with a shared common. Moreover, photocoupler isolation protects the internal circuit on both sides. Two 40-pin connectors carry all external wiring.

Input Block Specifications

The input block accepts 24 V DC signals from switches, sensors, and relay contacts. Its adjustable sampling time lets engineers balance noise immunity against response speed.

• Input Type: DC voltage

• Number of Inputs: 32 (terminal Nos. 01 to 32)

• Common Line Type: 8 points/common

• Isolation Method: Photocoupler isolation

• Rated Input Voltage: 24 V DC (operating range 20.4 to 26.4 V DC)

• Rated Input Current: 4.1 mA per point (24 V DC)

• ON Voltage/Current: 16 V DC min, 3.2 mA min

• OFF Voltage/Current: 5.8 V DC max, 0.9 mA max

• Response Time: Sampling time selectable at Always (0 μs), 62.5 μs, 250 μs, or 1 ms

• Maximum Ratio of Inputs On Simultaneously: 60%

Output Block Specifications

The output block switches 24 V DC loads with sink-type transistors. Its 1 ms response time covers general-purpose control tasks across many machine types.

• Output Type: Transistor contact (sink type)

• Number of Outputs: 32 (terminal Nos. 33 to 64)

• Common Line Type: 8 points/common

• Rated Load Voltage: 24 V DC (operating range 20.4 to 26.4 V DC)

• Maximum Load Current: 0.1 A per point, 0.4 A per common

• Response Time: 1 ms max (OFF→ON) / 1 ms max (ON→OFF)

• ON Voltage: 0.5 V DC max

• Off-time Leakage Current: 0.1 mA max

• Surge Protector: Active clamp circuit

• Fuse: None

• External Power Supply: 24 V DC, 55 mA

Additionally, the output block carries short-circuit and overheat protectors. Short-circuit protection acts on each output individually, while overheat protection controls outputs in groups of eight. If a fault clears, normal operation resumes automatically.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The F3WD64-3P weighs only 120 g, so it adds minimal load to the rack. Its housing fits any standard FA-M3 I/O slot.

• Current Consumption: 170 mA (5 V DC)

• Weight: 120 g

• Operating Temperature: 0 to 55°C

• Storage Temperature: -20 to 75°C

• Operating Humidity: 10 to 90% RH (non-condensing)

• Storage Humidity: 10 to 90% RH (non-condensing)

• Atmosphere: Free of corrosive gases, flammable gases, or heavy dust

Installation Guide

First, power down the FA-M3 rack before inserting the module. Next, align the F3WD64-3P with the slot rails and press it home until the backplane connector seats. Then, wire both 40-pin connectors according to the pin assignment chart in the FA-M3 manual. Specifically, keep input wiring away from output power cables to reduce electrical noise. Finally, set the input sampling time with the configuration switch and restore power.

For inductive loads, fit a surge suppressor or flyback diode close to the load. This step keeps switching spikes inside the rated operating range. Meanwhile, use the front status LEDs during commissioning to confirm each channel behaves correctly.

FAQ

Q1: How many inputs and outputs does the F3WD64-3P provide?
The F3WD64-3P offers 32 DC inputs and 32 sink-type transistor outputs. Inputs use terminals 01 to 32, and outputs use terminals 33 to 64.

Q2: Can I change the input response time on this module?
Yes. Input sampling time is selectable at Always (0 μs), 62.5 μs, 250 μs, or 1 ms. This setting helps balance noise immunity against response speed.

Q3: What is the maximum simultaneous input ratio?
No more than 60% of the inputs may be on at the same time. Exceeding this limit can cause the module to overheat.

Q4: Does the F3WD64-3P include output short-circuit protection?
Yes. Short-circuit protectors control outputs individually, while overheat protectors act on groups of eight outputs. Normal operation resumes once the fault clears.

Q5: Which shipping methods are available?
We dispatch orders worldwide through Fedex, UPS, and DHL. Every module ships in anti-static packaging inside its original carton.
