10 Channel Output Module.
The 10 channel Output Module is a GOcontroll Moduline compatible expansion card to add 10 high side output ports to your modular controller. The outputs are protected and configurable individually for a wide range of applications. The configuration can easily be set by the user in Node-RED.
Schematic Representation.
Local control an monitoring of output
Communication with processor board
Module rail supply
Output channel
Module ground
Software configurable interface circuit
Applications
High side actuator control as switch (on-off)
High side actuator control with duty cycle (0-100%)
Features
Each output is short circuit and over temperature protected.
Module supply is reverse polarity protected
Module power supply is load dump protected (ISO 7637)
Bad ground connection detection (earth loop protection)
External supply voltage range from 8 to 32 Volt
Technical Specifications.
The technical specifications are listed in the table below.
| Min | Nom | Max | Unit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply rail voltage (normal operation) | 8 | 32 | Volt | |
| Nominal load current for each channel* | 1.5 | A | ||
| Peak load current for each channel* | 2.5 | A | ||
| Switching frequency (duty cycle selected) | 1 | 1 | kHz | |
| Duty cycle resolution | 0.1 | % |
* The maximum total module current consumption may not exceed 10A.
CAUTION! Be aware to connect all the supply pins and all ground pins before controlling any actuator. By connecting only one or two pins, the processor board and module are not able to distribute the amount of current that is required. When a safety relay is used, only cut the module supply, not the module ground! Lastly, but no less important, connectors may never be hot plugged, remove supply before removing or installing connectors! The processor board and module can be permanently damaged!
Pinout Moduline II, III & IV.
The eight module expansion slots are directed to four connectors in front of the controller. Connector A,B,D and E. If a module is plugged into a specific expansion slot, one half of the corresponding connector is used to interface this module. The picture below gives an overview of the connectors with their related module expansion slots.
Connector C ( in the middle) is used for controller supply and some optional CAN bus connections.

Pinout Moduline Mini I.
The four module expansion slots are directed to the two main connectors of the controller. Connector A and B. If a module is plugged into a specific expansion slot, one half of the corresponding connector is used to interface this module. The picture below gives an overview of the connectors with their related module expansion slots.
Connector B ( on the left in this view) is also used for controller supply, a controller enable- and reset-input and a CAN bus interface. Connector A also offers a CAN bus interface and on top of that two controller enable inputs.
