3. Power & Compatibility
   • Power Supply: 5VDC from CLICK PLC base, power consumption ≤2W.
   • PLC Compatibility: Exclusive to CLICK series PLCs (e.g., C0-12CDR-D, C0-20CDR-D), requiring a compatible CLICK base.
4. Environmental & Physical Parameters
   • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C (operation); -20°C to 70°C (storage).
   • Humidity: 5%-95%RH (non-condensing).
   • Vibration Resistance: Complies with IEC 60068-2-6 (10-57Hz, 0.75mm double amplitude).
   • Dimensions: 90mm (H) ×70mm (W) ×55mm (D), compact design for space-constrained environments.
   • Mounting: Standard DIN rail mounting, plug-and-play installation.
   • Terminal Type: Removable screw terminal block for easy wiring and maintenance.
   • Status Indicators: Green LED per channel for visual output status monitoring.

Product Advantages and Features

1. High-Speed Switching: Transistor output with ≤10µs response time, suitable for high-frequency switching scenarios (e.g., fast solenoid control).
2. Flexible Load Adaptation: Supports 12-24VDC wide voltage loads; 0.5A per channel fits low-power devices like indicators and sensors.
3. Group Isolation: 2 isolated common terminal groups reduce interference, ensuring stable operation in electromagnetic environments.
4. Compact & Easy to Use: Space-saving design fits tight control cabinets; removable terminals simplify wiring and reduce installation time.
5. Reliable Protection: Built-in overcurrent protection automatically limits current during short circuits, safeguarding the module and loads.

Application Areas

1. Small Automation Equipment: Controls actuators in desktop packaging machines, labeling machines, and small conveyors.
2. Sensor & Indicator Driving: Powers photoelectric sensors, warning lights, and status indicators.
3. Laboratory Equipment: Serves as a control interface for lab devices, enabling precise triggering of reagent dispensing or sample transfer.
4. OEM Equipment Integration: Integrated into small machinery (e.g., mini injection molding machines, cutting machines) for fast output control.
5. Smart Home & Building Control: Controls DC loads like curtain motors and small valves for automated linkage.

Precautions

1. Load Matching:
   • Do not exceed 0.5A per channel or 1A per common terminal group to avoid transistor damage.
   • Not suitable for direct driving of high-power loads (e.g., contactor coils); use an intermediate relay for conversion.
2. Power Requirements:
   • Load power supply must be stable within 12-24VDC (±10% tolerance) to prevent output signal distortion.
   • Common terminals must connect to the negative pole of the load power supply (for NPN output) to ensure correct current flow.
3. Wiring Specifications:
   • Use ≥0.5mm² wires for terminals; tighten screws to prevent poor contact. Separate output wires from power cables to reduce interference.
   • For inductive loads (e.g., small DC motors), connect a freewheeling diode (reverse-parallel across the load) to suppress back EMF during turn-off.
4. Environmental Protection:
   • Install in a dry, dust-free control cabinet. Avoid ambient temperatures above 55°C; add ventilation if necessary.
   • Keep away from strong EMI sources (e.g., inverters, transformers); use shielded cables for signal lines with single-point grounding.
5. Maintenance & Replacement:
   • Hot-swapping is not supported; disconnect PLC and load power before replacement.
   • If LEDs show abnormal status (e.g., lit but no output), check for load short circuits or transistor damage.
