Product Overview
The Omron DRT2-MD16 is the DRT2-series Smart DeviceNet slave with 8 DC inputs and 8 NPN transistor outputs on a screw terminal block, manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation stocks this controller option board in Xiamen and ships within 3-5 business days to most Asian, European, and North American ports.
It mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail next to a DeviceNet master and exposes 8 DC inputs (24 VDC, 6 mA per point, 1.5 ms ON/OFF) and 8 NPN transistor outputs (24 VDC, 0.5 A per point, 4 A per common). Communications power 11 to 25 VDC; I/O power 20.4 to 26.4 VDC.
Screw terminals accept up to 1.5 mm² wire for field-side sensor and actuator wiring. Smart Slave features track power supply status, I/O response time, and operation counters for preventive maintenance. IP20 panel-mount only - for IP67 e-CON sensor plugs pick the DRT2-MD16S sibling. For 16-input only pick DRT2-ID16. For 16 PNP-output pick DRT2-OD16-1.
Key Features
- DRT2-series Smart DeviceNet slave with 8 DC inputs (24 VDC, 6 mA per point) and 8 NPN transistor outputs at 0.5 A per point, 4 A per common
- Screw terminal block for field-side sensor and actuator wiring, accepting up to 1.5 mm squared stranded wire
- Smart Slave diagnostics: power supply status, I/O response time, operation counter, on-time monitor for preventive maintenance
- DIN rail 35 mm or M4 screw mount, 500 VAC dielectric, 90 g, IP20, -10 to 55 C ambient, DeviceNet master via CJ1W-DRM21
- SKU: DRT2-MD16
- Series: DRT2-series Smart DeviceNet Slave (DRT2 family)
- I/O: 16 points
Best-Fit Applications
- Conveyor diverter station where 8 photo-eye inputs feed an NS12-TS01H HMI through a CJ1W-DRM21 master and 8 NPN outputs drive the pneumatic gates
- Semi-automated assembly jig where 8 part-present sensors connect to the screw terminals and 8 outputs control pneumatic clamps and indicator lamps
- Spare replacement on a filling machine where the original DRT2-MD16 was lost and the DeviceNet node address (DIP switches) matches the existing master config
Buying Checklist
- Pick the DRT2-MD16 when the DeviceNet cell needs 8 DC inputs and 8 NPN outputs on screw terminals with Smart Slave preventive-maintenance diagnostics.
- Pick the DRT2-MD16S instead when the field wiring uses pre-wired photo-eye sensor plugs on e-CON connectors instead of screw terminals.
- Pick the DRT2-ID16 instead when the cell only needs 16 inputs and no outputs on the same screw-terminal panel-mount body.

FAQ for DRT2-MD16
What is the Omron DRT2-MD16 used for?
It is the DRT2-series Smart DeviceNet slave with 8 DC inputs and 8 NPN transistor outputs on screw terminals. Typical uses are conveyor diverter stations, semi-automated assembly jigs, and spare replacement on a filling machine where the DeviceNet node address matches the existing master config.
DRT2-MD16 vs DRT2-MD16S - what is the difference?
Both are DRT2 Smart DeviceNet slaves with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The MD16 uses a screw terminal block and rates the outputs at 0.5 A per point, 4 A per common. The MD16S uses e-CON connectors for pre-wired sensor plugs and rates the outputs at 0.3 A per point, 2.4 A per common. Pick the MD16 for fixed wiring at higher current; pick the MD16S for plug-and-play sensor wiring.
How is the DRT2-MD16 wired to a DeviceNet master?
With the M2 DeviceNet connector on the side. The DeviceNet trunk (CAN_H, CAN_L, V+, V-, shield) carries the comm signal and communications power. Set the node address (0 to 63) with the on-board DIP switches before powering the trunk. The I/O supply connects to the screw terminals on the field-side block.
Does the DRT2-MD16 support PNP sensors?
The DRT2-MD16 inputs are NPN (switch to 0 V). For PNP sensors (switch to 24 V), pick the DRT2-MD16-1 or DRT2-MD16S-1. Same screw-terminal or e-CON body, with PNP-style inputs and NPN outputs.
