B802–008 115 Vac Output, Overview
(Original Document)
General Characteristics
The B802–008 115 Vac output module converts logic signals used within the PLC into eight 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 B802–008 is capable of handling a total continuous current of 12 A. 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
The module’s eight outputs are separated into four groups of two outputs each. An LED indicator lights when an output is on.
Following is a simplified schematic of the B802–008 115 Vac output module.
