B820–008 10—60 Vdc Output, Overview
(Original Document)
General Characteristics
The B820–008 10—60 output module converts logic signals used within the PLC into eight independent 10—60 Vdc outputs. Each output is capable of driving a relay, pilot lamp, motor starter, solenoid, or any other load up to 2.0 A.
The B820–008 is capable of handling a total continuous current of 12 A. The module uses transistor switches to control loads connected to an external power source. These switches are designed to withstand the high surge currents typical of industrial loads.
Simplified Schematic
Following is a simplified schematic of the B820–008 10—60 Vdc output module.
The module’s eight outputs are separated into four groups of two outputs each.
