Material Composition ABS flame retardant housing Optocoupler input isolator array Power transistor output array TVS protection diodes Removable screw terminal block Gold-plated backplane connector

Structural Features Narrow rectangular DIN-rail mount housing. Front removable terminal block, upper row for inputs, lower row for outputs. Per-channel LEDs for input and output status. Side expansion bus connector. DIN rail mounting clip.

Working Principle Field 24 V DC switch signals connect to input channels, routed through optocouplers to the PLC logic. Isolated digital levels indicate input contact state, read by the CPU during scan cycles. CPU output commands travel over the backplane to the module, driving power transistors on output channels to switch 24 V DC loads. Short circuit protection limits output current on overcurrent faults. Per-channel LEDs display real-time input and output states.

Installation Requirements Clip the module to the DIN rail on the expansion bus. Wire field switches to input terminals, solenoid loads to output terminals. Connect 24 V DC field supply. Configure input debounce and output fail-safe values in PLC software. Verify channel operation during commissioning.

Usage Notes Total module output current must not exceed 4 A, overloading triggers module over-temperature. Inductive loads require flyback diodes across coil terminals. Never connect AC power to 24 V DC input terminals, this destroys optocouplers. Removable terminal blocks must be fully seated to maintain contact reliability.
