The DO8 provides higher packing density and lower cost per channel.
The eight digital output module provides eight logic outputs, which are typically
used for control, alarms or events outputs.
Each channel a 24V output with 0.75A capability (subject of a maximum of 4A
total per module) can be used for driving solenoids, relays, lamps, fans, thyristor
units, single phase Solid State Relays (SSRs) or some three phase SSRs.

This digital output module provides four relay outputs. The relay contacts are
all fitted with removable snubber circuits to reduce contact arcing and prolong
contact life.

| De-rating |
The above ratings summarize the
performance with resistive loads. With
complex loads further derating may be
required |
AC Voltage As the AC load becomes
more “difficult” a more
significant de-rating factor is
required. The graph opposite
shows the de-rating to be
applied in terms of contact
life, assuming the load
requirement is pre-defined. F1 Worst case F2 Typical |

DC voltage DC operation is also
limited for difficult loads,
particularly where there is
significant inductance.
Here the working current
must be limited as shown,
where the load time constant
(L/R, in ms) is the
significant factor. |
