RPC 08

8 Relay Peripheral Card

The RPC 08 is an output module packaged on a single EURO Size pcb, for use with the ABACO® Industrial BUS.

The board comprises 8 Output lines wired to microrelays with changeover contacts, of which the operation is displayed by LEDs mounted to the front part.

Each line (NO and NC) is MOV-suppressed to minimize interference from the switching of reactive loads.

Typical applications are those calling for several logic outputs connected to double pole changeover relays, in modular units of 8; field interfacing problems are readily solved, and costs optimized at the same time.

The layout of the indicator LEDs, the adoption of a D connector and convenient software control combine to facilitate the use of the board enormously.

An advantageous feature RPC 08 is its ability to activate a check on the status of the 16 outputs, thereby affording more secure control.

The option exists of fitting a special front panel in aluminium for 3HE or 4TE Rack. This provides further screening and a secure anchorage by means of two relative screws. Removal is facilitated by the inclusion of a convenient front handle.
