Technical Data of the Digital OutputsΒΆ

Number of channels per module 8 normally-open relay outputs
Distribution of the channels into groups 2 (4 channels per group)
Connection of the channels O0 to O3 Terminals 10 to 13
Connection of the channels O4 to O7 Terminals 15 to 18
Reference potential for the channels O0 to O3 Terminal 14 (signal name R0..3)
Reference potential for the channels O4 to O7 Terminal 19 (signal name R4..7)
Relay coil power supply Terminal 20 (plus pole of the process supply voltage, signal name L+). The minus pole is provided by the I/O-Bus.
