This Schneider Electric discrete output module provides 8 relay outputs for Modicon Premium PLC systems. It switches AC and DC loads directly from the controller’s output commands. Engineers can deploy this unit for motor starters, solenoids, and indicator applications. Its robust relay design ensures reliable switching in industrial environments. The module offers complete isolation between field wiring and logic circuits.
Physical Dimensions and Rack Mounting
The module measures 4.3 inches in height and 2.0 inches in width. Its rugged housing weighs approximately 1.2 pounds for stable rack installation. A high-density connector establishes all power and communication links to the backplane. The unit slides easily into standard Premium TSX racks without tools. This design enables quick replacement during system maintenance activities.
Output Channel Specifications and Contact Ratings
The module offers 8 normally-open relay output channels for versatile connectivity. Each channel handles 2 A at 250 VAC for general-purpose switching. The relay contacts also support 2 A at 30 VDC for DC load applications. The total output current capacity sums to 8 A across all active channels. This configuration supports direct control of small motors and actuators.
Contact Life and Switching Performance
The relays achieve a mechanical life of 20 million operations under no-load conditions. Each contact provides an electrical life of 100,000 operations at rated load. The module incorporates arc suppression circuits for extended contact durability. This protection reduces contact erosion and maintains reliable switching performance. The relays operate with a typical response time of 10 milliseconds.
Power Consumption and Logic Supply
The module draws 100 mA from the 5 VDC backplane supply for internal logic. It also requires 200 mA from the 24 VDC field supply for coil excitation. Total power dissipation reaches approximately 4 watts under maximum loading. The unit includes individual LED indicators for each output channel. These visual indicators assist troubleshooting without additional test equipment.
Diagnostic Features and Status Monitoring
The front panel features 8 green LED indicators for real-time output status. Additional LEDs display module health and bus communication activity. The module performs continuous monitoring of output load and contact conditions. It reports any detected faults to the CPU for operator notification. This diagnostic capability reduces maintenance response times and improves system availability.
Environmental Ratings and Compliance Standards
The module operates reliably from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. Its conformal-coated PCB resists moisture and airborne contaminants effectively. The unit withstands 95% non-condensing humidity for versatile plant deployment. It carries CE and UL certifications for global industrial applications. These approvals simplify equipment certification for international projects.
