B804–116 115 Vac Output, Overview
(Original Document)
General Characteristics
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.
Simplified Schematic
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.
