High-Current Channel Capacity: Each channel supports up to 500 mA, enabling direct control of relays and solenoids without additional interface hardware.
Source-Type Architecture: Supplies 24 VDC to loads, simplifying wiring and fault diagnosis through standard voltage-based verification.
Superior Mechanical Durability: Rated for high vibration and shock, suitable for installation near heavy industrial machinery.
Low Power Backplane Load: Minimal Flexbus consumption ensures efficient use of chassis power resources even under full load.
What is the difference between source and sink outputs?
The TC-FOD161 is a sourcing module, meaning it provides positive voltage to the load. Sink modules instead switch the ground side. Source configuration is widely used for safer and more intuitive wiring.
Can it drive inductive loads?
Yes. For inductive devices such as solenoids, external protection (e.g., flyback diodes or surge suppressors) is recommended to mitigate back-EMF.
How is channel status monitored?
Each channel has a corresponding LED indicator on the front panel for real-time status, in addition to digital feedback to the controller.
Is it compatible with Series A/M chassis?
Yes, it is designed for Series A I/O chassis used with the C200 controller and occupies a single slot with backplane connectivity.
