Features:
- Configurable device address (1~255), allowing multiple devices to be cascaded on RS485 bus.
- Built-in bi-directional optocoupler isolation for each input.
- Onboard unibody power supply isolation, provides stable isolated voltage and needs no extra power supply for the isolated terminal.
- Onboard unibody magnetical isolation, allows signal isolation, high reliability, strong anti-interference.
- Onboard resettable fuse and TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage, providing over-current/over-voltage protection, lightning proof & anti-electrostatic.
- Supports passive and active digital input, with bi-directional optocoupler isolation and a built-in debouncing algorithm. Supports DI/DO linkage control or DO toggle control.
- Output utilizes Darlington transistors with optocoupler isolation, providing stronger driving capability with up to 500mA sinking current, and built-in flyback diode protection.
- Features flash-on and flash-off functions, allowing temporary output activation via command.
- Rail-mount case design, supports stacking combination, easy to install and safer to use.
- Multiple LEDs indicate input & output status, MCU status, and signal transceiving status.
