1. 8- Point P.F. Relay Output Module (2711)

This is NEXGEN-2000 PLC family I/O module. This is 8-point
discrete output module which controls 24-240 VAC and 24 VDC
output through electro-mechanical relay contacts.
The discrete output module receives status from Processor Module
in order to switch ON or OFF various field actuators and elements
like relays, contactors, solenoid valves, etc.

2. Module Wiring
The front side of the module is provided with two 10-pin terminal blocks for wiring of
field output devices. These are easily removable terminal blocks which facilitate
immediate replcement of module without removing wiring. This module can be
inserted in any of the I/O slots.

This is potential free relay contact type of output module. In all 8 outputs are available
as potential free output points. Common points (C0, C1, C2,…C7) per output point
are provided to connect either 24-250 VAC or 24 VDC supply. Connect output
device ( AC or DC as per specifications) to output point as shown in figure with other
terminal of output device connected to Neutral or GND.

User should ensure that total load current per point should not exceed
1 Amp and it should not exceed 8 Amp per module.

No external power supply is required for energizing relays on module.

Recommendations for using relay type of outputs –

Use external RC snubber across relay contact for AC loads.

Use external Free-Wheeling diode across DC loads.
It is always recommended to insert external fuse protection (1 Amp) for
each output to avoid damage to output relay contact in case of short circuit
at output device side.

Maximum voltage between any two pins not to exceed 250 VAC. Hence
connection to two and three phase supply not permitted, if line voltage exceeds
110 VAC.

Replacement of Module:
From user safety point of view, replacement of live modules is not allowed.
Module replacement is allowed only after PLC and machine power is switched
off and the voltage at terminal blocks is confirmed to be safe.
Switching off PLC power does not guarantee that a voltage at terminal blocks is
also turned off.
In order to ensure that user is consciously removing the module from the slot,
HV-Clips are provided at top surface of the base rack. This is safety feature in
addition to locking clips provided towards fascia of the module. Thus before
unlocking the HV-Clip for the module, user must ensure that the power supply
for actuating the field devices connected at output terminals is turned off.
