Physical Characteristics and Installation
This output module weighs approximately 0.42 kg for standard rack mounting. Its dimensions measure 160 mm x 120 mm x 45 mm for distributed I/O chassis. First, slide the 200-OW8 into a free slot in your I/O rack. Then, connect your field actuators to the screw terminals. Finally, secure the module using the built-in locking latches. LED indicators on the front show the status of every output channel.
Output Specifications and Relay Ratings
The 200-OW8 provides 8 relay outputs for versatile load control. Each relay uses a form A (normally open) contact configuration. The switching capability ranges from 5V to 250V AC or 5V to 30V DC. Each channel carries 2 A continuous for resistive loads. Inrush current reaches 5 A for up to 20 milliseconds. Consequently, this module can handle motor starters and solenoid valves reliably.
Response Time and Contact Life
This output module turns on in 10 ms after receiving a command from the CPU. The turn-off time measures just 5 ms for fast de-energizing. Each relay contact lasts for 100,000 operations at rated load. For lighter loads, the contact life increases significantly. The 200-OW8 draws 180 mA from the 5V DC backplane supply to power the relay coils. Use this module for mixed AC and DC load applications.
