The B804–116 115 Vacoutput module converts logic signals used in the PLC into 16 independent 115 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 B804–116 is capable of handling a total continuous current of 6 A/group of eight points and 12 A/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.
Following is a simplified schematic of the B804–116 115 Vac output module.
The module’s 16 outputs are separated into two groups of eight outputs each.
