The Schneider Electric AS-B820-008 is a discrete I/O module tailored for various automation applications. This product operates in a true high mode and consists of 8 distinct outputs, which are organized into 4 groups with 2 outputs per group. It accepts a voltage range of 10 to 60 VDC, allowing for flexible integration into different systems.
Each output can deliver a maximum current of 2 A, while the entire module can handle up to 12 A across all outputs. The module also provides a current capacity of 6 A for each group to ensure robust performance. For rapid transient situations, users can benefit from the surge current capability of 10 A per channel, effective for brief intervals (10 milliseconds at a 0.05% duty cycle).
When activated, the module maintains a maximum voltage drop of 1.5 VDC at 2 A, ensuring that connected devices receive adequate power. In the off state, it features a leakage current of no more than 5 mA at 60 VDC. Additionally, the AS-B820-008 demonstrates impressive peak voltage handling, rated up to 80 VDC for transient periods.
Response times are efficient, with 1 ms typically required to switch from ON to OFF and the same duration for OFF to ON transitions. An external power source ranging from 10 to 60 VDC is needed, with individual groups allowing a maximum of 500 mA of current, not including the output load.
