• Power and Physical Parameters
  • It uses a 24V DC power supply, which matches the power configuration of standard industrial control systems.
  • The operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C, and it can maintain stable operation in extremely cold or high-temperature industrial environments.
  • Its dimensions are 15.5 centimeters × 10.5 centimeters × 2.5 centimeters, and the compact size allows for flexible installation in various control cabinets.
  • It adopts DIN rail mounting, which conforms to common industrial installation standards and simplifies the on-site installation process.
• I/O and Communication Parameters
  • It is equipped with 16 digital input channels and 16 digital output channels, and can support up to 2048 I/O points when integrated into the system to meet the expansion needs of large-scale safety systems.
  • The maximum output current reaches 2A, which can directly drive most industrial on-site digital output devices without additional power amplification components.
  • It supports multiple communication protocols including Modbus, Ethernet/IP and OPC, and is also equipped with an RS485 communication interface to ensure smooth connection with existing industrial networks.

• Output and Signal Parameters
  • It has 4 common - return, DC - coupled output channels, with a 12 - bit resolution and an output accuracy of less than 0.25% of the full - scale range within the 4 - 20mA controlled current range.
  • The output current can reach an over - range of 0 - 22mA and also has a 0mA output capability, with a step function response time of less than 2ms.
  • The typical switch time when a channel fails is 1ms, and the maximum switch time does not exceed 3ms.
• Power and Loop Parameters
  • The nominal external loop power supply is 24V DC, and the maximum allowable voltage is 32V DC, with reverse voltage protection.
  • For a 300Ω load, the loop power supply needs to be over 16V DC with a minimum current of 1A; for an 800Ω load, the loop power supply must be over 28V DC with a minimum current of 1A.
  • It has continuous over - range protection against 36V DC and 0V DC, which effectively protects the internal circuitry from damage due to abnormal voltage.

• Electrical Parameters
  • It provides 32 commoned output channels with a nominal voltage of 24 VDC and a voltage adaptation range of 16 - 32 VDC, and can withstand a maximum voltage of 36 VDC.
  • Each output point has a maximum current of 1.7 A, a surge current of 7 A within 10 milliseconds, a minimum required load current of 10 mA, and a maximum load leakage current of 4 mA.
  • The typical voltage drop is less than 2.8 VDC at 1.7 A, the power module load is less than 13 watts, and the point isolation voltage reaches 1500 VDC to avoid electrical interference between circuits.
• Physical Parameters
  • The module weighs 0.8 kg and has dimensions of 16cm × 16cm × 12cm, featuring a compact and lightweight design that facilitates installation in various industrial control cabinets.
  • It adopts an IP20-rated enclosure and is equipped with dedicated LED indicators for each output point to show on/off states, as well as module status indicators for pass, fault, load, and active conditions.
