This simplex (non-triplicated) relay output module is designed to interface the Tricon controller with external annunciators, interposing relay panels, and auxiliary systems. By offering high-integrity galvanic isolation up to 125 VAC\/VDC, the module ensures robust protection for sensitive control circuitry while managing medium-power digital signals across demanding industrial automation topologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;
