Remote I/O Modules (D77A Series)
Product Description
Cutler-Hammer
®
 Intelligent Technolo-
gies (IT.) D77A I/O Modules, which are 
built by Eaton’s electrical business for 
industrial applications, are available in 
8 and 16 point I/O, combination I/O and 
analog I/O. These modules are capable 
of connecting to AC or DC voltages 
and also to voltage or current analog 
I/O. Input modules have two points per 
isolated common while the outputs 
are available in relay and solid-state 
with two points per isolated common 
for most output modules. When added 
flexibility is needed, modules that 
combine inputs and outputs, AC, DC 
and relay are available.
Application Description
Typical D77A I/O Module applications 
use the D77A I/O as stand-alone 
remote I/O and in a system where 
motor control and I/O are required 
within a single customer panel.
I/O and the motor control can be con-
nected to a single network adapter. 
The network adapter then represents 
the D77A I/O and motor control as 
remote I/O, consuming only one net-
work address. The network then con-
trols and monitors the connected 
devices. Connecting devices is done 
by DIN rail back plane or by Plug-and-
Play cables.
