- Relays: Miniature sealed relays with silver alloy contacts
- Terminals: Screw-type, 18-22 AWG
- Snubber: RC network per contact
- Structural Features:
- Full-width IC693 module
- 16 red LED indicators on front panel
- 48 screw terminals (16 sets of NO/COM/NC)
- DIN-rail or chassis mount
- Working Principle:
- CPU writes output state via Genius Bus. Module energizes relay coil for active channels. Mechanical contact switches from NC to NO. LED shows output state. Snubber suppresses inductive kickback.
- Installation Requirements:
- IC693CHS or IC693ACC chassis
- Wire loads to COM and NO (or NC)
- Use 18-22 AWG wire
- Add external suppression for large inductive loads
- Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed 0.5A per channel
- Do not switch AC and DC on same relay — reduces contact life
- Add flyback diode for DC solenoids
- Do not hot-swap
