The B808–016 230 Vac output module converts logic signals used within the PLC into 16 independent 230 Vac outputs. Each output is capable of driving a relay, pilot lamp, motor starter, solenoid, or any other load up to 2.0 A. The B808 is capable of 6 A per group of eight and handling 12 A per module.

The module uses triac switches to control loads connected to an external power source. These switches are designed to withstand the high surge currents typical of industrial loads.
