BX-16CD3D2 input/output module arrangement: mounting, interface and service-space coordination.

## In plain English

### What it does

BX-16CD3D2 is the drawing identifier for input/output module in AutomationDirect's BRX Series PLC collection. An input/output module joins field information and controller commands. A physical layout needs the selected module and its interfaces rather than a generic block of interchangeable I/O.

### A simple example

For example, in a microgrid installation with a machine panel combining field status and actuator commands, use the BX-16CD3D2 reference to coordinate input and output conductor corridors, connector access and removal space. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the reviewed native drawing identified as PLC Families/BRX/BX-16CD3D2.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.

### Before using this reference

- Match BX-16CD3D2, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Separate the scheduled input and output terminal groups.
- Coordinate input and output conductor corridors, connector access and removal space with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

### Terms

- Drawing identity: The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface: The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space: The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.

## How to read it

- Keep input and output conductor corridors, connector access and removal space visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named BX-16CD3D2 drawing and its input/output module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.

## Information to show or reference

- Match BX-16CD3D2, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Separate the scheduled input and output terminal groups.
- Coordinate input and output conductor corridors, connector access and removal space with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

## Important distinction

This reference concerns the named BX-16CD3D2 drawing and its input/output module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
