This digital output module provides reliable switching capabilities for field actuators and indicators. It integrates seamlessly into the Modicon M340 automation platform. The unit controls up to sixteen independent load circuits from a single backplane slot. Users can drive solenoids, contactors, and pilot lamps with precise timing.
Output Channel Configuration and Electrical Ratings
This module features sixteen discrete output channels arranged in two isolated groups. Each channel delivers 0.5 A of continuous current at 24 V DC. The total current per common group reaches 4 A for combined loads. The output voltage ranges from 19.2 V to 30 V DC for flexible system integration. Each channel includes built-in overcurrent and overtemperature protection. This protection safeguards both the module and connected field devices.

Response Speed and Output Performance
The DO113600 achieves output switching times of 0.1 ms from on to off. Turn-on delay measures 0.05 ms for high-speed applications. This rapid response suits packaging machinery and high-speed counting systems. Each output also includes a built-in flyback diode for inductive load suppression. This diode absorbs voltage spikes from relay coils and solenoids. Consequently, the module extends its operational lifespan in demanding environments.
Backplane Communication and Status Feedback
This module communicates with the CPU via the M340 backplane bus. It provides real-time feedback on each channel’s switching state. The unit stores diagnostic data for preventive maintenance scheduling. A green LED per channel illuminates when the output remains active. Additionally, a red “Fault” LED signals module-level errors. These indicators simplify field troubleshooting without software tools.
Energy Consumption and Thermal Management
The module draws 40 mA at 5 V DC from the backplane for internal logic. External load power comes from the field supply via dedicated terminals. The unit dissipates approximately 8 W under full load conditions. Natural convection cooling maintains safe operating temperatures across all channels. Consequently, the operating range spans 0 °C to 60 °C for most factory environments. Humidity tolerance reaches 10% to 95% without condensation risks.
Installation and Wiring Convenience
This module features a removable terminal block for simplified wiring maintenance. Installers can pre-wire the connector before inserting it into the module. The unit snaps directly into any standard M340 rack slot. A locking mechanism secures the module against vibration and shock. Furthermore, the housing carries an IP20 rating for protection against solid objects. This design suits discrete manufacturing and material handling systems.
