Engineered to switch a wide range of low to medium power industrial loads, this module provides reliable operation for external actuators such as control relays, motor contactors, indicator lamps, and solenoid valves. It features 16 output points configured as 8 isolated Form C relays and 8 Form A relays split into two groups of 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach output point is individually protected with an integrated 3A fast-acting fuse and an RC snubber circuit (R = 47 ohms, C = 0.015 uFD) to suppress high-frequency noise transients and extend contact life. Power required to energize the internal relay coils is supplied directly by the module via the 5V system bus, eliminating the need for an external user power supply for the logic side. Logic-level status indicators (LEDs) positioned at the top of the module provide immediate visual confirmation of the ON\/OFF state for each individual output channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField wiring is terminated securely using a removable front terminal board, which supports easy maintenance and module replacement without disturbing field cables. Mechanical keying features ensure that the module cannot be incorrectly swapped with a different type in the rack during maintenance. Configuration parameters, including default fault modes such as holding the last state or turning outputs off, are fully programmable through the system software environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 discrete output channels featuring 8 isolated Form C relays and 8 Form A relays (2 groups of
