1. 8- Point DC Output Module (2708)

This is NEXGEN-2000 PLC family I/O module. This is 8-point
discrete output module which provides 24 VDC output through solid
state MOSFET type of devices. The module provides source type of
outputs.
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 source type of DC output module. In all 8 outputs are divided in 2 groups of 4
points each. Common points (V1 and V2) per group are provided to connect 24 VDC
supply. Connect output device (DC load of less than 1.5 A as per specifications) to
output point as shown in figure with other terminal of output device connected to
GND.
The G1 and G2 terminals are internally short circuited on module.
The +24 VDC supply connected at V1 terminal is used to drive outputs Q0 to Q3,
whereas +24 VDC supply connected at V2 terminal is used to drive outputs Q4 to
Q7.

User should ensure that total load current per common should not exceed
6 Amp and it should not exceed 12 Amp per module.

Filtered 24 VDC supply is required for proper working of output stage of

module. This is connected to terminals marked as V1 and V2.

The module 24 V supply ground and output devices ground should be

common.The terminals G1 and G2 should be shorted to common ground
point of output load devices.

To protect output devices from voltage surges generated from inductive

loads, freewheeling diodes are required to be put across loads directly.
Failure to put such diodes may damage output device.
