PRODUCT DETAILS
2080-L50E-24QWB — Micro850 24-Point Controller, Relay Outputs, Ethernet
The 2080-L50E-24QWB is a 24-point expandable controller from the Micro850 family, pairing 14 digital inputs (8 high-speed, 6 standard, 24V DC/AC) with 10 relay outputs. It includes embedded Ethernet, a USB programming port, a non-isolated RS-232/485 serial port, three plug-in slots, and support for up to 4 high-speed counter channels — covering 8 EtherNet/IP nodes for network-connected applications.

Relay Outputs on a High-Speed-Capable Controller
This catalog number's relay output configuration distinguishes it from the sourcing-output variant in the same family — relay contacts handle AC or DC loads at varying voltages directly, useful for applications mixing pilot lights, small solenoids, and contactor coils on different voltage classes from one controller, where a DC-only transistor output module would require interposing relays to bridge to AC loads.
Pairing relay output flexibility with the same high-speed input architecture and counter capability found across the Micro850 family means this controller doesn't trade motion-adjacent capability for voltage flexibility — applications needing both fast pulse counting on the input side and voltage-flexible switching on the output side are well served by this specific combination, rather than needing two separate controllers or external interposing hardware.
FAQ
Q: Can the relay outputs switch both AC and DC loads on the same controller simultaneously?
Yes. Each relay output operates independently — different outputs can switch AC loads while others switch DC loads at the same time, since relay contacts aren't tied to a shared voltage reference.
Q: How many Ethernet nodes does this controller support?
Up to 8 EtherNet/IP nodes, covering connections to remote I/O, HMI terminals, and other network-connected devices within that node limit.
Q: What's the difference between this controller and the sourcing-output variant in the same family?
This model uses relay outputs; the sourcing variant uses 24V DC transistor outputs instead. Relay outputs offer voltage flexibility across AC and DC loads; transistor outputs suit fast-cycling DC loads where relay contact wear would be a concern.
Q: Can this controller's I/O be expanded beyond the onboard 24 points?
Yes, through up to 4 expansion I/O modules and 3 plug-in slots, extending both digital and analog I/O capacity well beyond the base configuration.
