B824–016 24 Vdc Output (True High), Overview
(Original Document)
General Characteristics
The B824–016 24 Vdc (True High) output module consists of sixteen independent outputs divided into two groups of eight. The B824–016 converts signals used within the PLC into 16 independent outputs. Outputs are capable of driving motor starters, relays, and a variety of other loads.
There are 16 transistor switches which are used to control loads connected to external power source. The module’s 16 outputs are in two groups, eight outputs per group. Each group is fused to protect the outputs from overload currents and polarity reversal.
