38N-4

DCS Input/Output Relay Card Series

OUTPUT RELAY CARD

Functions & Features
• This relay card is a DCS-front-end use relay card installed in a dedicated 19-inch rack, used to manually turn on/off a voltage contact output to directly drive devices such like electromagnetic valve, and to automatically turn it off by an external status contact from the DCS
• Voltage output (LED turns on at output)
• Test switch useful for the DCS test running
• 0.5 A fuse for the voltage output

MODEL: 38N–4

ORDERING INFORMATION

• Code number: 38N-4

OUTPUT CARD

4: Manual ON / Auto OFF
