Industrial Applications

1. Pneumatic Packaging Machine Control

Utilizes the 4 digital inputs for receiving cylinder limit-switch signals and 4 high-capacity 2A relay outputs to directly switch 24V DC pneumatic solenoid valves.

Problem Solved

Provides low-point-count localized I/O expansion in dense packaging systems without requiring bulky terminal blocks or external slave relays.

2. Conveyor Diverter Station Integration

Interfaces with photoelectric sensors via the sink/source 24V DC inputs while using the relay outputs to command low-power AC/DC conveyor gate motors.

Problem Solved

Allows rapid integration of localized sorting nodes on material handling conveyors without running long individual sensor cables back to the main cabinet.
