MDT BE-16024.02 Binary Input Module 16-Channel 8TE DIN Rail 24V AC/DC KNX

The MDT BE-16024.02 stands out in the KNX ecosystem by packing 16 potential-free binary inputs into a compact 8TE (144 mm) DIN rail housing, making it an exceptionally space-efficient solution for large-scale building automation. Unlike basic input modules, it supports versatile functions per channel—switching, dimming, shutter control, value transmission, scene recall, and counting—all configurable via ETS. This flexibility allows system integrators to adapt the module to diverse project requirements without additional hardware, reducing both cost and installation complexity.

Highlights

• 16 independent binary inputs for potential-free contacts
• Wide input voltage range: 12–24V AC/DC, suitable for various signal sources
• Compact 8TE (144 mm) DIN rail mounting, ideal for crowded distribution boards
• Low KNX bus power consumption (<0.3 W) for energy-efficient operation
• Per-channel status LEDs for quick diagnostics and commissioning
• Supports switching, dimming, shutter, value transmitter, scene, and counter functions

In daily use

Installed in a standard distribution board, the BE-16024.02 reliably captures states from switches, push-buttons, window contacts, motion detectors, or any dry contact device. Each input can be individually configured via ETS to trigger KNX telegrams, enabling complex automation scenarios such as central off commands, scene activation, or shutter group control. The screw terminals accommodate cable lengths up to 100 meters, providing flexibility in wiring topology. With an operating temperature range of 0°C to +45°C and IP20 rating, it is intended for indoor use in dry environments.
