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.
Applications
- High side switching of multiple low-power actuators (up to 10 outputs)
- Driving solenoid valves (pneumatic or hydraulic) on-off
- Energising relay and contactor coils
- Controlling indicator lamps, beacons and status lights
- Actuating small solenoids and electromagnets
- Duty-cycle (PWM) controlled outputs (0-100%) for tasks such as lamp dimming
Features
- 10 high side outputs, each independently configurable
- Each output can be switched on-off or duty-cycle controlled (0-100%)
- Selectable PWM frequency per channel pair
- Module diagnostics (temperature, supply voltage and total module current) reported to the controller
- 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 | A | ||
| Peak load current for each channel* | 1.8 | A | ||
| PWM control frequency, selectable per channel pair | 200 | Hz | ||
| 500 | Hz | |||
| 1000 | Hz |
* The maximum total module current may not exceed 10 A
Connectors may never be hot-plugged. Remove power before removing or installing connectors.
Connect all supply and ground pins before driving an actuator; otherwise the processor board and module can be permanently damaged.
If a safety relay removes the module power, only interrupt the positive supply (+) — never the ground.
The 10 Channel Output Module page in our knowledge base covers everything you need to integrate the module: the complete pinout for every controller and module slot, the channel functions and the PWM frequency per channel pair, the diagnostics the module reports back, and how to drive it from the GOcontroll CodeBase, Simulink or Node-RED.
