USER MANUAL
16-Point 24 VDC Output Module
The digital output module receives commands from the 4716
24VDC OUTPUT
Processor Module in order to switch ON or OFF various field 16 OP
actuators and elements like relays, contactors, indicating
lamps and solenoid valves. The module provides 24 VDC
source type output through solid-state MOSFET type of NO 24V SUPPLY

Module wiring
This is source type of output module. Two 24VDC load supply common points (terminal
numbers 1 and 18), each for group of consecutive eight outputs are provided. Connect
output devices (load less than 1.5 Amps) to output points as shown in figure 2 with
other terminals of output devices connected to ground of load supply. The module
requires 24 VDC control supply for its operation which should be connected in between
terminals 19 and 20. If this supply is not healthy, Yellow LED 'NO 24 V SUPPLY' glows.
The module control supply and load supply may be different but their supply grounds
should be made common. If module control supply and load supply is not connected
and output is switched ON, it is indicated by respective red LED. But corresponding on
board MOSFET device is not switched ON and hence connected field device is not
switched ON.

Four yellow LEDs are provided at the top for error indications. One indication is
provided per group of four outputs. If any single output in a group is put ON by the
processor, corresponding error LED glows
• If load connected to output point is less than 300 mA or
• If total load current of a group exceeds permissible limit.

Installation
Refer printed manual PD-2002-052 Nexgen 5000 PLC Installation Manual to know
• the installation of the module in the PLC rack.
• the installation of entire PLC system and safety precautions to be followed.
• the wiring inside the control panel and outside the control panel.
The latest manual in pdf format ED-2002-052 along with all the related manuals are
available on the website:

Precautions
Ensure that the total load in a group at any time does not exceed 4 Amps
and the total load on a module at any time does not exceed 8 Amp.
To protect output devices from voltage surges generated by the inductive
loads, freewheeling diodes are required to be put across the loads
directly. Failure to put diode may damage the output devices on the
module and or create EMI interference problems. Suggested device is
1N4007 or IN5408.
User should take care of external supplies by providing appropriate fuse,
MCB protections where ever required. Similarly user can insert
appropriate safety control interlocks to ensure safe working of the module
in the application.
The application of AC voltage to any terminal of the module may damage
individual / group outputs or the entire module permanently.
