Is the IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T a new or refurbished unit?

We stock both new-in-box and professionally refurbished units. Please specify your preference when submitting an inquiry, and we will confirm availability and pricing accordingly.

What is the difference between IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T and IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16?

The -T suffix designates the terminal block (screw connection) variant. The -T version is preferred for permanent panel installations requiring robust field wiring.

Can this module work with a Siemens S7 PLC?

Yes, provided you have a compatible PHOENIX CONTACT INTERBUS master module installed in the S7 rack. The IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T communicates via the INTERBUS remote bus protocol.

What is the lead time for this part?

In-stock units typically ship within 2-5 business days. For sourced units, lead time is 1-3 weeks. Contact us for real-time availability.

Do you provide a warranty?

New units carry the manufacturer's standard warranty. Refurbished units come with a 90-day Konmask.com functional warranty.

Description

PHOENIX CONTACT IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T Digital Input/Output Module – INTERBUS Remote Bus Terminal

Imagine a production line grinding to a halt because a single I/O node fails to communicate with the controller — signals lost, actuators frozen, operators scrambling. In distributed automation architectures, the remote bus I/O module is the critical nerve ending that translates field-level signals into actionable data for the PLC. Without a reliable, protocol-native module like the IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T, even the most sophisticated control system becomes blind and mute at the field level.

The PHOENIX CONTACT IBS RT 24 DIO 16/16-T is a high-density digital input/output module engineered specifically for the INTERBUS remote bus system — one of the earliest and most robust open fieldbus protocols in industrial automation. Positioned as a workhorse remote terminal within the INTERBUS RT family, this module delivers 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs in a compact DIN-rail form factor, making it a trusted choice for machine builders and system integrators across automotive, packaging, and process industries worldwide.
