Specifications
Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified.
Specifications in italic text are guaranteed by design.
Output specifications
Table 1. Output specifications
Number of relays
24
Relay configuration
2 banks of 8 and 2 banks of 4
Contact configuration
24 Form C (SPDT) Normally Open, Normally Closed and Common available at
screw terminals
Contact rating
6 A @ 240 VAC or 28 VDC resistive
Contact resistance
100 milliohms max (initial value)
Operate time
10 milliseconds max
Release time
5 milliseconds max
Vibration
10 to 55 Hz (amplitude 1.5 mm)
Shock
10 G (11 milliseconds)
Dielectric isolation (between
relay open contact)
300 VAC, 50/60 Hz (1 minute)
Dielectric isolation (between
PCB output lines)
500VAC, 50/60 Hz (1 minute)
Life expectancy
10 million mechanical operations, min
S2 = pull-up
Energized. NO in contact with Common
Power on state
S2 = pull-down Not energized. NC in contact to Common
Relay control logic polarity
User-configurable per bank via switch S1 for invert or non-invert (default). Switch
settings for polarity can be read back via software through the USB bus. Switch
settings do not affect the power on condition. Non-invert mode, when "0" is written or
read back via the USB bus, relays are not energized. Invert mode, when "0" is written
or read back via the USB bus, relays are energized.
Pull-up / pull-down
User-configurable per bank via switch S2 for pull-down (default) or pull-up.
Switch settings can be read back via software.
Pull-down will put the relays in non-energized mode on power up.
Pull-up will put the relays in energized mode on power up.
