Structural Characteristics:

• DIN rail mounting (TS 35)
• Plug-in terminal connectors with spring clamps
• ABS plastic housing
• Front-facing LED status indicators (16 channels)
• X20 bus connector on bottom edge

Working Principle:
The controller writes digital states to the module via the X20 bus. Each output channel is controlled by an NPN transistor in a PNP sourcing configuration. When the controller sets a bit to “1”, the transistor conducts, connecting the 24 V DC supply to the output terminal. When set to “0”, the transistor is off. Each channel includes an electronic fuse for short-circuit protection. Optocouplers provide galvanic isolation between channels and the bus.

Advantages & Highlights:

• 16 channels in compact X20 format
• 0.5 A per channel handles standard solenoid valves and small relays
• Electronic fuse provides fast fault response
• PNP sourcing is standard in European automation
• LED diagnostics simplify maintenance

Applicable Industries:

• Valve control in process plants
• Indicator and signal lamp control
• Relay and contactor switching
• General discrete output in machine builders
• Conveyor and sorting system actuation

Installation Requirements:

• Mount on DIN rail (TS 35 x 7.5 or TS 35 x 15)
• Connect to X20 base module or X20 system bus
• Wire PNP loads: connect +24 V to load, load to output terminal, 0 V to power supply return
• Use flyback diodes across inductive loads (relays, solenoids)
• Wire gauge: minimum 0.5 mm² for 0.5 A per channel

Usage Precautions:

• Do not exceed 0.5 A per channel or 4 A total module current
• Always use flyback diodes for inductive loads
• Do not apply external voltage to output terminals
• Verify Active HIGH / Active LOW setting matches load wiring
