Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the DEP112 is the right module for your application:
- Channel count: If 12 DI points are sufficient → DEP112 is optimal. For 16+ points, consider TSXDEY16D2.
- Voltage level: Confirm field device output is 24 VDC. For 120 VAC inputs, a different module family is required.
- Platform: DEP112 is exclusive to TSX Micro/Premium. For M340 or M580 platforms, select the corresponding BMX or BME DI module.
- Environment: For harsh environments (vibration, wide temperature range), verify IP rating and consider conformal-coated variants.
- Budget vs. availability: If OEM stock is limited, Konmask can source certified equivalent or refurbished units with full test reports.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the DEP112 be used in an M340 rack?
A: No. The DEP112 is designed for TSX Micro/Premium racks only. M340 systems require BMX DDI series modules.
Q: Is the DEP112 still in production?
A: Schneider Electric has transitioned newer designs to the Modicon M340/M580 platform. DEP112 availability depends on OEM stock and certified secondary market supply. Contact Konmask for current stock status.
Q: What is the difference between DEP112 and TSXDEY16D2?
A: The TSXDEY16D2 offers 16 input channels vs. 12 on the DEP112, and is the recommended upgrade path within the TSX Premium platform.
Q: Can I mix DEP112 with other I/O modules in the same rack?
A: Yes, TSX racks support mixed I/O module configurations. Ensure total rack power budget is not exceeded.
Q: Do you provide test reports for refurbished units?
A: Yes. All refurbished DEP112 units from Konmask include a functional test report. Contact us for details.
