4.2 Process Control: Applied in process control systems for chemical, petroleum, and natural gas industries to monitor valve status, level switches, pressure switches, etc.
4.3 Power Systems: Used for equipment status monitoring in power plants and substations, collecting signals such as circuit breaker status and isolator positions.
4.4 Manufacturing: Automated production lines in automotive manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, etc., for monitoring equipment operation status and safety interlock signals.
4.5 Building Automation: Applied in building automation systems to collect signals from fire alarms, access control status, equipment start/stop, etc.

5. Precautions
5.1 System Compatibility: Before selection and use, verify the module's compatibility with the existing control system, including communication protocols and electrical characteristics.
5.2 Wiring Specifications:
* Correctly connect input signal wires, paying attention to polarity (for wet contacts) and signal type (dry/wet contact).
* Use shielded cables and ensure proper grounding to reduce electromagnetic interference affecting signal accuracy.
5.3 Environmental Conditions: Ensure operating environment temperature and humidity are within the module's allowed range; avoid dust, corrosive gases, or strong vibrations that could affect module performance.
5.4 Power Requirements: Use a stable and reliable 24V DC power supply; voltage fluctuation should not exceed ±10% of the rated value to prevent input signal misreading.
5.5 Maintenance and Diagnostics:
* Regularly check module status and input signal accuracy; utilize system diagnostic functions to monitor module health status.
* Always follow safety procedures and power down if necessary before maintenance.
5.6 Safety Considerations: For safety-related applications (e.g., emergency stop buttons, safety door switches), dedicated safety modules should be used instead of standard digital input modules.
