Siemens  TX-I/O™ Module system – Functions and operation  CM110561en_08 
Building Technologies  Digital input functions  2018-10-25 
•  The signal is read at regular intervals and debounced on hardware level 
•  An additional debounce time is available: 0…25.5 s (default = 0 s) 
•  Pulses of more than 20 ms from pushbuttons are registered and kept ready for 
polling 
•  Desigo XWORKS plus:  Only D20 (N/O) is available. Inversion (D20R, N/C) must 
be realized via inverting in the parameterization. 
•  P-Bus BIM : The configuration (D20. D20R) sets the contact type (N/O or N/C) 
•  The meaning of the I/O status LED can be parameterized (TXM1.8D only): 
Normal = green (default) / Alarm = Red / Service = Yellow. 
•  The signal operation can be selected: Contact_NO (default), Contact_NC) 
•  As a result 
–  The I/O status LED is activated.  
–  The process value is communicated over the bus 
–  The LCD is activated 
 
 
Digital inputs cannot be overridden locally. The override button has no effect, and if an 
attempt is made to operate it, an error is displayed. 
 
 
•  The I/O status LED shows the source signal 
•  The LCD panel (if available) shows the source signal type (status contact, N/O or 
N/C contact) and the state of the contact:
