Product Description
Key Features
- Digital output identity: DQ 4x DC 24 V/2 A HF digital output module with 4 source outputs (PNP, current-sourcing).
- Output capacity: Rated output current is 2 A per channel and 8 A per module; resistive-load switching capacity is max. 2 A.
- Supply and protection: Rated supply voltage is 24 V DC, with a permissible range of 19.2 V to 28.8 V DC, reverse polarity protection, and electronic short-circuit protection.
- BaseUnit and connections: Usable BaseUnit is BU type A0. 3-wire connection requires BU type A0 with AUX terminals or a potential distributor module; 4-wire connection requires BU type A0 + Potential distributor module.
- Firmware and diagnostics: Firmware version is V2.0.3, FW update is possible, and diagnostics include channel-by-channel wire-break and short-circuit detection.
- Lifecycle data: Product lifecycle: Start of final year of support.
Applications
- Digital input control: The module can control a digital input with a minimum current consumption of 7 mA.
