Functional Features: The onboard power supply eliminates the need for external power to connected I/O rails (up to 4 rails). As a communication multiplexer, it allows four input/output channels to communicate with the AutoMate 20/20E processor unit. The COM LED indicates active communication between the processor and the local head. RAIL FAULT LEDs provide per-rail fault indication.
Application Scenarios: Used in AutoMate 20/20E I/O systems for distributed digital I/O control in industrial automation environments.
Installation & Notes: The module mounts via a bracket on the rear onto a rack assembly. The fuse compartment accepts a 250 VAC MDQ 4-amp fuse. When the COM LED is illuminated, communication is actively occurring between the processor and the local head.
