GE Fanuc announces isolated Relay Output Module

By: GE Digital
20 March, 2007
The 4A Relay Output module provides 16 Form A relays for controlling output loads, such as motor starters, solenoids, and indicators. Each output point is isolated, and each has a separate common power output terminal. Outputs provide a high degree of noise immunity, minimizing the need to add external snubbers.

High Degree of Noise Immunity Provided By Outputs CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, MARCH 20, 2007 - GE Fanuc Automation, announced the availability of a new isolated relay output module for its PACSystems® RX3i and Series 90™-30 controllers. The new 4 Amp 16 Point Relay Output module provides 16 Form A relays for controlling output loads. The maximum output switching capacity of each circuit is 4 Amps. Each output point is isolated from the other points, and each point has a separate common power output terminal. Outputs provide a high degree of noise immunity, minimizing the need to add external snubbers.

The relay outputs can control a wide range of output devices, such as: motor starters, solenoids, and indicators. This module is available as a PACSystems RX3i output module or as a Series 90-30 PLC output module.
