Digital output modules feature the following mechanical characteristics:

• Compact design:
  • Green LEDs for indicating the signal status at the outputs.
  • Socket for the front connector, protected, behind the front door.
  • Labeling field on the front door.
  • Connector pin assignment for the wiring on the inside of the front door.
• Easy installation:
  There are no slot rules, the addresses of the outputs are determined by the slot.
  When used in ET 200M in combination with active bus modules, hot swapping is possible without any reaction.
• User-friendly wiring.
• RC filter (for relay module 6ES7 322-1HF20):
  Relay module 6ES7 322-1HF20-0AA0 has a connectable RC damping network (300 ?/0.1 ?F) for reducing the arcing at the contacts when large inductive loads are switched (power factor = 0.4). This results in, for example:
  • An increase in the service life of the contacts from 100,000 to 200,000 switching cycles when a motor starter for a NEMA motor of frame size 5 is activated.

The modules are available with 8, 16, 32, or 64 channels.
