The Applications

1. Decentralized Valve Control in Automated Process Lines

In process automation environments such as fluid handling, dosing systems, and industrial treatment plants, multiple solenoid valves must be switched with high reliability. The UR20-8DO-P enables decentralized valve control by placing output channels close to the field devices, reducing cable lengths and electrical losses. P-switching outputs simplify wiring and lower the risk of polarity errors during installation. Integrated short-circuit protection safeguards the system against damaged coils or wiring faults, while automatic recovery minimizes process interruptions. Fast switching behavior ensures accurate valve timing, helping maintain stable flow rates and consistent production quality.

2. Signal Lamp and Stack Light Control in Manufacturing Cells

Manufacturing cells depend on clear visual signals to communicate machine status to operators and maintenance teams. The UR20-8DO-P is commonly used to control signal lamps and stack lights that indicate operating modes, alarms, or faults. Its fast output response allows immediate visual feedback when machine conditions change. Each channel supports typical lamp loads while built-in status indicators simplify commissioning and troubleshooting. By installing the module close to the equipment, system designers reduce wiring complexity and improve reliability, especially in flexible production lines that are frequently reconfigured.

3. Actuator Control in Conveyor and Intralogistics Systems

Conveyor systems and automated material handling installations require precise coordination of stops, diverters, and positioning actuators. The UR20-8DO-P supports these applications by offering multiple protected outputs within a compact footprint, ideal for distributed control along conveyor sections. Its ability to switch inductive loads ensures dependable operation of actuator coils, while galvanic isolation protects the control system from electrical noise. Automatic fault recovery reduces downtime caused by temporary wiring or load issues, helping logistics operations maintain consistent throughput and on-time material flow.

4. Distributed Output Control in OEM Machine Design

OEM machine builders often design modular equipment that must scale across different customer configurations. The UR20-8DO-P provides a flexible output solution for controlling clamps, auxiliary drives, and machine peripherals. PUSH IN terminals speed up assembly and reduce wiring errors during series production. The slim module width helps minimize cabinet size, supporting compact machine designs. Robust protection features enhance long-term reliability, lowering service interventions and total cost of ownership for both machine manufacturers and end users.
