7CX408.50-1

Product Description

The 7CX408.50-1 is a feature-packed 24 VDC remote input/output module designed to monitor and control equipment in industrial automation systems. This rugged, networked device integrates 16 digital inputs, 2 high-speed counters, and 16 digital outputs into a single compact unit. The digital inputs allow connection of 24 VDC devices like sensors and switches. These inputs can be configured as sinks to provide versatile field wiring options. Dual built-in counters with gating and latch functions accurately tally production counts.

For outputs, the module contains 12 protected transistor channels rated at a 0.4A current switching capacity for interfacing with indicator lights, small solenoids, and other low-power actuators. An additional four non-protected transistor outputs switch heavier 2A inductive loads for driving contactors, motors, valves, and other demanding equipment. A key highlight is the 7CX408.50-1 CAN bus interface and networking capabilities. This allows distributed I/O over long distances and assembling machine segments with ease. The module also offers channel-to-channel isolation for protecting equipment against electrical noise and surges.

With its rugged design, the 7CX408.50-1 stands up to harsh conditions like vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures seen in many industrial settings from factories to renewable energy applications. Itss an ideal choice whenever a single I/O module needs to combine mixed input/output types along with counting, networking, and isolation.
