1. Electrical Parameters

• Operating Voltage: 24V AC/DC, allowing a ±20% fluctuation (adapts to unstable industrial power supply environments).
• Power Consumption: Maximum 5VA (low energy consumption, reducing system power load).
• Overvoltage Protection: All inputs and outputs can withstand overvoltages of 24V AC and 40V DC; circuit short-circuit protection is also integrated (prevents module damage from voltage surges or short circuits).
• Output Characteristics: Equipped with 6 digital output channels, with a maximum current of 0.8A per channel (suitable for driving medium-power loads such as small relays or indicator lights).

2. Communication Capabilities

• Protocol Support: Uses the LonTalk protocol, supporting either C-Bus (enabling communication between up to 30 EXCEL500 controllers) or open LonWorks bus communication.
• Transmission Rate & Modes:
  • When connected via a modem or ISDN terminal adapter, the rate reaches 38.4 kbaud.
  • Wireless communication via GSM is also supported, as well as dial-up access through TCP/IP networks (flexible adaptation to wired and wireless industrial communication scenarios).

4. Other Features

• Indicator Lights: The module is equipped with a power indicator LED (green) (shows power supply status) and a LON server indicator LED (red) (displays bus communication status, enabling quick fault diagnosis).
• Automatic Binding: Features automatic binding functionality, eliminating the need for NV (Non-Volatile) binding (simplifies module configuration and reduces deployment time).
• Expansion Capacity: A maximum of 16 such modules can be connected to each EXCEL500 controller; each controller supports up to 128 physical data points and 256 virtual data points (meets large-scale industrial control system expansion needs).
