Automation Direct C0-11DRE-D PLC Relay Output Module

AutomationDirect C0-11DRE-D PLC Relay Output Module (CLICK Series PLC)

 

 

The AutomationDirect C0-11DRE-D is a compact PLC CPU (CLICK series) with built-in I/O, including relay output channels. It is commonly used in small to medium industrial automation systems for simple machine control, logic processing, and relay switching.

It is important to note: this is not just an output module, but a complete micro PLC with integrated relay outputs.

What it does (simple explanation)

This device works as a small industrial brain + relay switch system:

Sensors → C0-11DRE-D PLC → Relay outputs → Motors / lamps / solenoids / alarms

So it can:

• Read sensor signals (8 inputs)
• Execute logic program (ladder)
• Turn devices ON/OFF via relay outputs (6 channels)

Relay Output Function (important for your listing)

The relay outputs inside this PLC act like:

• A mechanical switch inside the PLC
• Can directly switch AC or DC loads
• Electrically isolated from control logic

Typical uses:

• Solenoid valves
• Small motors (via contactor)
• Alarm lights / buzzers
• Heater control (low power)
• Interlocking circuits
