The solid-state relay I/O modules are used as power control and voltage monitoring interfaces between high level DC or AC lines and TTL logic levels. The modules are in a slim, space-saving form. Four functions are offered: DC Input, DC Output, AC Input, and AC Output.
The A24A can hold up to 24 modules. Field-side terminations are provided via convenient terminal strips with points isolated from each other. The logic side has a common logic supply bus with screw terminals for input power connections. Logic-side connections are via a 50-conductor edge connector.
APPLICATION GUIDE
Any of ACCES' buffered digital I/O cards (IOD-24, IOD-48S, IOD-72, or IOD-120) may be used and one 24-bit port will be used per A24A. Various combinations of I/O modules can be intermixed on one A24A mounting card. However, each contiguous group of eight channels must contain only input or output modules. If more than 24 I/O modules are required, additional 24-bit ports may be necessary.
In some cases, logic power required can exceed the current handling capability of digital I/O cards. For these instances, an external 5 VDC power supply is recommended. Screw terminals are provided on the card for those power supply connections in addition to a jumper next to the terminal strips that should be cut.
