Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What devices can I control with this module?
  It can control solenoids, pilot lamps, relays, motor starters, buzzers, and other 24V DC devices.
• What does “sourcing” output mean?
  It means the module provides the positive voltage (24V DC) to the connected load.
• How many modules can I connect to my controller?
  It depends on your controller: MicroLogix 1100 (4), 1200 (6), or 1400 (7).
• Can I mix this module with other I/O types?
  Yes, you can create a mix of input and output modules in your expansion system.
• What is the maximum wire distance for outputs?
  Keep wire runs as short as possible to minimize voltage drop, especially at higher currents.
