Start by mounting the module on a standard 8-Point Terminal Base. Ensure the backplane provides power from an adapter or expansion supply. You do not require a separate field bus power supply for operation. Wire your safety devices to the 8 sinking input channels. Each channel accepts an input voltage range of 18 to 30 VDC. The minimum on-state current is 3.3 mA for reliable detection. Configure the four Pulse Test outputs for T0, T1M, T2, or T3M sources. These outputs supply up to 0.7 A per channel. The total output current reaches 2.8 A at 40 degrees Celsius. Use the pulse test feature to verify sensor and wiring integrity. Set the individual on and off delays to match your application needs. This module supports both single and dual channel operation modes. Its input reaction time is under 16.2 ms for fast response.
