The IP2040-Bxxx digital output connects the binary control signals from the automation unit on to the actuators at the process level. The eight outputs handle load currents of up to 2 A each, although the total current is limited to 12 A. The outputs are supplied by three load circuits; for this reason these modules do not relay the supply voltage. The signals are connected via 8 mm snap type connectors.
The outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse connection.
Product status:
service phase | Possibly with other technical features or equipment in case of a service order or repair. Recommended alternative: IP2041-B528
