Take control of your connections using this digital I/O module from Siemens. It relays data at lightning speeds between your processor and I/O devices from the SIMATIC S7-1500 system. As there are eight outputs, you can keep an eye on multiple machines in one go. Built-in short circuit protection keeps linked systems safe by shutting down equipment during a current overload. To make errors easy to spot and cut back on downtime, there's an LED indicator that gives rapid diagnostics information.

• Transistor output type for reliable operation with low-load, DC-powered applications
• Weighs just 240g, so it won’t put strain on your system
• Built-in diagnostics and a maintenance interruption alarm keep you alert to changes
• 2A output current per channel makes it suitable for low-voltage systems
• Low power loss of 5.6W cuts back on energy use and boosts efficiency

The dimensions of this module are 35 (W) x 147 (H) x 129mm (D), making it a compact choice that won’t take up too much room in tight installations.
