Fatek-FBs-16Y Expansion Modules - 16 Point Digital Output

Description

In complex automation systems, the ratio of inputs to outputs is rarely 1:1. The Fatek-FBs-16Y Expansion Modules address the specific need for heavy output-side expansion. By providing 16 dedicated output points in a single compact unit, this module enables the central PLC to drive a larger array of external devices, making it perfect for sequential control tasks involving multiple stages of actuation.

Like all components in the FBs series, these modules are built with industrial-grade reliability. They feature optical isolation between the internal logic circuits and the output terminals, ensuring that electrical noise and voltage spikes from inductive loads do not disrupt the controller. The modules are available in two primary output types: Relay (R) for switching higher AC/DC loads up to 2A, and Transistor (T) for high-speed, low-wear switching of DC loads. Integrated LED status indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the state of each output, simplifying commissioning and troubleshooting procedures.
