This contact input module captures thirty-two dry contact or voltage signals. The Yokogawa ADM12C belongs to the Advantum DCS product family. You can connect limit switches, pushbuttons, and relay contacts directly. Its high channel density maximizes I/O count per rack slot.
Physical Dimensions and Hardware Layout
The Yokogawa ADM12C measures 12.5 cm in overall width. Its total depth reaches 15.0 cm including the terminal block. This contact input module weighs approximately 0.48 kg. A metal housing provides excellent shielding against electrical noise. One green LED indicates backplane power status. Additionally, thirty-two red LEDs show each channel’s active input state.
Electrical Input Specifications
Each channel accepts dry contact or 24V DC voltage inputs. The Yokogawa ADM12C provides a typical input resistance of 3.3 kΩ. Channel turn‑on voltage requires a minimum of 15V DC. Conversely, turn‑off voltage occurs below 5V DC. The module filters input signals to remove contact bounce noise. Two LED bars display status for all channels efficiently.

Energy Storage and Input Stability
Internal capacitors maintain input status during brief power dips. The Yokogawa ADM12C stores channel states for up to 10 ms. This storage prevents false triggering during short interruptions. Consequently, the DCS reads stable input values at all times.
Filtering and Noise Immunity
This module includes selectable input filters for contact bounce rejection. The Yokogawa ADM12C rejects voltage spikes shorter than the selected filter time. Choose the 1 ms setting for clean contact signals. Choose the 20 ms setting for noisy field contacts. Therefore, false triggers rarely occur in industrial environments.
Isolation and Channel Configuration
This module groups inputs into four isolated banks of eight channels. Each bank shares a common return terminal. The Yokogawa ADM12C provides internal 24V wetting voltage for dry contacts. You can disable the wetting voltage for voltage input mode per bank. This design accommodates both contact types without external components.
