Process Automation I/O Solution – AUTONET HFDI-16 | Digital Input Series
Where This Product Is Used
The AUTONET HFDI-16 is a 16-channel digital input module engineered for demanding industrial environments. It is widely deployed in:
- Oil & Gas Plants – field device status monitoring (valve open/close, pump run/stop) integrated into DCS cabinets
- Chemical & Petrochemical Facilities – safety interlock signal acquisition for SIS/ESD systems
- Power Generation & Utilities – breaker status, relay feedback, and protection signal collection
- Water & Wastewater Treatment – pump station I/O expansion and SCADA signal aggregation
- Automotive & Discrete Manufacturing – PLC I/O expansion for conveyor, robot, and fixture control
- Building Automation (BAS/BMS) – HVAC equipment status and alarm signal collection

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the HFDI-16 be used as a replacement for legacy DCS I/O cards from other brands?
A: The HFDI-16 is designed for the AUTONET backplane ecosystem. Cross-brand replacement requires a compatible backplane or signal converter. Contact us for compatibility assessment.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for field wiring to the HFDI-16 inputs?
A: Typical installations support up to 300 m with shielded twisted-pair cable. Longer runs may require signal repeaters or surge protection devices.
Q: Is this module suitable for SIL 2 safety applications?
A: Consult the AUTONET HFDI-16 safety manual and SIL certificate. Konmask can provide documentation upon request.
Q: Do you offer warranty on this module?
A: Yes. New original units carry a 12-month warranty. Refurbished units carry a 6-month warranty. Terms available on request.
