- DIN-rail or chassis mount
- Working Principle:
- The CPU writes to the output register via Genius Bus. The module’s opto-isolators activate the NPN Darlington transistors for each active channel. The transistor sinks current from the load to ground (0V). The load must have its own positive supply (5-30VDC) connected to the load side. The LED indicates when the output is active.
- Installation Requirements:
- Mount in IC693CHS or IC693ACC chassis
- Connect load positive supply to load terminal, load other side to module output
- Use 18-22 AWG wire
- For inductive loads, add external flyback diode across the load
- Keep output cables away from AC power lines (>30cm)
- Usage Precautions:
- Load voltage must be 5-30VDC — do not connect AC loads directly
- Do not exceed 500mA per channel — use external relay for higher loads
- Add flyback diode for all inductive loads (solenoids, relays, motors)
- Do not leave outputs floating — always connect a defined load or pull-up
- Do not hot-swap
