Product Description

The 7CX404.50-1 is a compact, high-performance PLC I/O module designed for industrial automation and control applications. Housed in a sturdy plastic case, the module integrates seamlessly with 500 series PLC systems to provide reliable discrete signal input and output connectivity. At the core of the 7CX404.50-1 are 16 digital inputs for capturing signals from devices like sensors and switches. The inputs feature electrical isolation and filter out electrical noise for dependable operation even in harsh plant environments. Diagnostic LEDs clearly indicate the on/off status of each input in real-time.

For output, the module supplies 4 discrete CAN bus channels - CAN High, CAN Low, CAN Ground, and Shield. These allow the 7CX404.50-1 to transmit control signals to compatible actuators, valves, drives, and other CAN-enabled automation equipment. The CAN protocol facilitates reliable serial communication even over long distances. The 7CX404.50-1 module requires just a 24 VDC power supply for operation. It draws very little current thanks to an efficient electrical design - just 4.2mA at maximum load. This low power appetite reduces operating costs. An integrated green LED confirms the powered-up status.

One standout feature of the 7CX404.50-1 is its accelerated discrete I/O response time compared to many comparable modules. This rapid signaling allows very precise real-time control and sequencing of machines or processes. The module can react to changes quicker for enhanced performance. Connectivity is straightforward with a spring clamp terminal block. Electricians can securely wire the 7CX404.50-1 to field devices and the backplane bus without needing tools. The connectors are clearly labeled for simple installation. Once wired up, the module automatically parameters itself on power-up to work straight out of the box.
