Product Features

High Reliability Design:

The module operates using negative logic (sink logic), where the output is active when the logic signal is low. It features multiple protection mechanisms, including overload protection and short-circuit protection, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments. All I/O modules support hot-swapping, eliminating the need for downtime during maintenance.

Flexible Configuration:

Supports various communication protocols, including Modbus and Ethernet, allowing for easy integration into existing control systems. The module provides LED status indicators to display bus communication activity, external fault detection, and input status in real time, facilitating on-site debugging and maintenance. Environmental Adaptability:

A wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +70°C) and excellent vibration and shock resistance enable it to adapt to various harsh industrial environments. The module complies with CE certification standards and has passed safety certifications such as UL and CSA, ensuring safe operation.

This module is an important component of the Schneider Quantum series, providing a stable and reliable discrete output control solution for industrial automation systems.
