Simex SOC8 Digital Output Modbus RTU module
Simex SOC-8 allows 8 binary outputs to be monitored and controlled via the Modbus RTU RS-485 connection.
The SOC-8 binary outputs module is used to control the low-power output devices via the RS-485 connection. It finds application in distributed control and visualization systems. It can directly control, for example, contactors, relays, light bulbs and other DC loads with the 24V control (supply) voltage and the 0,5A current (maximum). Galvanic separation of all outputs ensures safe operation of the master system, without the risk of damage caused by dangerous overvoltage.
