AY11

Mitsubishi's AY11 output module is a versatile component in the A Series, featuring a total of 16 output points. It utilizes a common terminal configuration, accommodating 8 points per common for ease of wiring. To maintain operational effectiveness, the module requires a 24 VDC external power supply that permits a variance of +/- 10%, consuming 150 mA when under standard conditions.

Weighing only 0.5 kg, this module is designed for straightforward integration into control systems. The output mechanism is based on relay technology, enabling reliable actuation for a variety of applications. The insulation system employs photocouplers, ensuring safe electrical isolation between control circuits and load devices.

In terms of performance, the AY11 has a rated switching voltage and current capacity of 24 VDC or 240 VAC with a maximum load of 2A. The minimum switching load stands at 5 VDC and 1 mA to ensure effective operation. It can handle up to 264 VAC and 125 VDC for maximum voltage switching, allowing operations in diverse electrical scenarios.

The response times are quick, clocking in at 10 milliseconds or less for activation and 12 milliseconds for deactivation. The module also supports a high switching frequency of 3600 operations per hour, making it suitable for high-demand applications. Noise suppression is achieved through a varistor rated from 387 to 473 volts, enhancing the module’s reliability and performance during operation. An internal current consumption of 115 mA at 5 VDC is present, but it should be noted that a relay socket is not included with the module.
