It is engineered to control 24 V DC actuators, such as ohmic, inductive, or lamp loads. Each channel provides a high current capacity of up to 4.0 A and is individually short-circuit proof. For demanding applications requiring higher power, the two channels can be connected in parallel to achieve a capacity of up to 8 A. The terminal uses a 3-wire connection technology and ensures robust isolation (500 V) between the K-bus and field potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 digital output channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh current capacity: \u003cstrong\u003e4.0 A per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e (8 A total in parallel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-wire connection technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual short-circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse voltage protection for enhanced reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact DIN rail mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeckhoff\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 V DC (-15 %\/+20 %)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
