Description

AutomationDirect F2-08TRS Output Module

Product Dimensions：

Here is the detailed product information for the AutomationDirect F2-08TRS, a specialty output module designed for the DL205 series PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system.

## Product Overview

The F2-08TRS is a 8-channel relay output module. What sets this specific module apart is that it features isolated outputs, meaning each of the eight relays has its own common. This makes it highly versatile for switching different voltages or phases within a single module.

## Technical Specifications

Below are the core technical parameters for the F2-08TRS:

## Key Advantages

• True Isolation: Since each point has its own common, you can switch 24VDC on one point and 110VAC on the next without interference.

• High Current Capacity: Unlike standard high-density modules, the F2-08TRS can handle up to 7 Amps per point, allowing it to drive larger motors, solenoids, or heaters directly.

• Simplified Wiring: The module uses a removable terminal block, allowing for easy maintenance or replacement without disconnecting every wire individually.

• Rugged Design: Relay outputs provide high noise immunity and are less susceptible to voltage spikes compared to transistor outputs.

## Important Considerations (Notes)

1. Relay Life Cycle: Mechanical relays have a finite lifespan. Depending on the load, the electrical life is typically 100k to 500k cycles. It is not recommended for high-frequency switching (use a transistor module for that).

2. External Fusing: This module does not have internal fuses. To protect your equipment and the module, external fuses should be installed for each output circuit.

3. Inductive Loads: When switching inductive loads (like motors or large coils), use external suppression (RC snubbers for AC, diodes for DC) to extend the contact life.

4. Power Consumption: This module draws 450mA from the 5V backplane. Ensure your PLC base power supply has enough overhead to support it.

## Typical Applications

• Heavy Duty Switching: Controlling large contactors or motor starters.

• Mixed Voltage Systems: Ideal for panels where you need to trigger both AC and DC devices from a single module.

• Emergency Stop Systems: Used in safety interlocks where physical mechanical separation (air gap) is required for isolation.

• HVAC Control: Driving fans, dampers, and heating elements.
