Introduction

The BMXSRA0405 digital relay output module includes 4 relays and supports up to 4 outputs. The module presents a pair of a and b pins for each relay. Note that for each relay:

  • the two a pins are internally connected, and

  • the two b pins also are internally connected.

Terminal Blocks

You can use the following Schneider Electric 20-point terminal blocks to fit the 20 pin connector on the front of the module:

  • screw clamp terminal block BMXFTB2010

  • age clamp terminal block BMXFTB2000

  • spring type terminal block BMXFTB2020

NOTE: Terminal blocks can be removed only when power to the module is OFF.

Process Power Supply

You need to install the appropriate 24 Vdc or 24 Vac to 230 Vac process power supply.

Fuse

A fast blow fuse, maximum of 6 A, that is suitable for the selected application and relay design is required. Always install an external fuse in series with the external power supply, the relay, and the load.

Wiring Connector

The following example presents the pins on the relay module:

NOTE: Because the two a pins for each relay are internally connected, you need to use only one a pin for each relay. Similarly, because the two b pins for each relay are internally connected, you need to use only one b pin for each relay.
