Features

• Individually Isolated Outputs: Each relay channel operates independently for flexible load control

• Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports both AC and DC loads across a broad voltage range

• High Current Capacity: Handles up to 4 A per output for demanding applications

• Noise Immunity: Built-in design minimizes electrical interference

• Diagnostic Reporting: Monitors terminal block status, over-temperature, and configuration mismatches

• Configurable Output Defaults: DIP switch allows selection of “Hold Last State” or “Force Off” on CPU loss

• LED Indicators: Per-channel status LEDs for easy monitoring

• Hot-Swappable: Can be inserted or removed while the system is powered (RX3i only)
