5、 Core product functions

Passive dry contact output

No built-in voltage, pure relay contact switch, can adapt to any load of AC220V, AC110V, DC24V, DC125V.

Strong isolation and anti-interference

Relay photoelectric+mechanical dual isolation, completely isolating the internal circuit of PLC from the strong electrical load on site, with strong anti-interference ability, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Multi channel centralized control

16 channels of high-capacity relay output can directly drive high-power equipment such as contactors, solenoid valves, fans, water pumps, sound and light alarms, etc.

Group independent isolation

Two groups of 8 channels are isolated from each other and can be connected to loads of different voltage levels, making wiring and circuit design more flexible.

Intuitive state diagnosis

Each route comes with an LED indicator light, which allows for direct viewing of the on/off status on-site, making troubleshooting quick and convenient.

Support hot swapping

Quantum platform standard hot swappable feature allows for independent module replacement without shutting down, without affecting the operation of other circuits.

6、 Typical application scenarios

Valve/pump/fan switch control in the chemical, water treatment, power plant, and oil and gas industries

Factory automation assembly line contactor, relay, indicator light control

Building electromechanical and HVAC equipment start stop interlocking

In situations where strong electrical isolation and mixed high and low voltage switch output are required

Industrial control that does not allow high-frequency actions and only performs conventional start stop interlocking

7、 Installation and usage precautions

Module installation and disassembly must be carried out under the specifications of system power-off or allowing hot plugging;

Relay output prohibits high-frequency pulse control and is only suitable for conventional start stop and hold switch logic;

It is recommended to parallel surge absorbers to drive inductive loads (contactors, coils) and extend the lifespan of relays;

Configure programming using Unity Pro software, directly map I/O addresses to use;

It is recommended to separate strong and weak electricity for wiring, avoid laying them in the same conduit as frequency converters and power cables, and reduce interference.
