Description
The FP-DO-401 Discrete Output Module is an essential component for various automation and control systems. Bearing the part number 184438A-01 and an alternate part number 777518-401, this module falls under the FieldPoint category. Designed specifically for industrial applications, the FP-DO-401 model has become a reliable choice for engineers and technicians alike. However, it’s important to note that this module is not recommended for new designs.
This module features 16 output channels, which are capable of handling a voltage range from 5 to 30 VDC. The impedance varies with the voltage, being 0.3 Ω at a voltage range of 10 to 30 V and 2 Ω at a range of 5 to 10 V. This versatility allows for a wide range of applications. The power consumption of this module is modest, requiring only 730 mW from the network module it is connected to.
One of the standout features of the FP-DO-401 is its Ethernet capabilities, which enable easy integration into existing networks. Additionally, it boasts built-in module-to-module isolation and on-board diagnostics, enhancing its reliability and ease of use. These features are particularly useful in complex automation systems where maintaining network integrity and troubleshooting are of paramount importance.
Operating within a temperature range of –40 to 70 °C and a storage temperature range of –55 to 85 °C, the FP-DO-401 is built to withstand harsh conditions. It is also designed to operate under a relative humidity range of 10 to 90% (non-condensing), ensuring its performance in varying environmental conditions. The module’s resilience is further demonstrated by its vibration specifications, which include a random vibration of 5 grms and a sinusoidal vibration of 5 g (10 to 500 Hz).
Despite its robust features, the module remains lightweight, weighing in at just 5.2 oz. It also meets several safety standards, including IEC 61010
