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.
