IO-RO8, IO-RO8L    

I/O Expansion Module           8 Relay Outputs 

The IO-RO8 and IO-RO8L are I/O 
expansion modules that can be used in 
conjunction with specific Unitronics OPLC 
controllers. 
The modules are identical except for their 
power supply specifications: IO-RO8 runs 
at 24 VDC; IO-RO8L at 12 VDC. 
Both modules offer 8 relay outputs. 
The interface between module and OPLC 
is provided by an adapter. 
These modules may either be snap-
mounted on a DIN rail, or screw-mounted 
onto a mounting plate.
