Note: The catalog confirms the number of outputs, signal type, response time, photo-coupling circuit range, and maximum output current, but does not specify channel current or total module current. Therefore, it is advisable to check the specific model datasheet before final design.
Digital Output 16 Channels
The PLC EXPLX3V-16EYT has 16 digital outputs for sending commands from the PLC system to control external devices through NPN output circuits.
With 16 channels, it is suitable for systems requiring control of multiple points. However, each channel's load current and total current when multiple outputs are used simultaneously must be checked.
NPN Output (Ground Switching)
The EXPLX3V-16EYT uses NPN or sinking output type, which primarily functions to switch the ground side of the circuit when the output is active.
Typically, an NPN load connection places the load between the positive power supply and the output terminal. The output circuit acts as a current path back to the system reference point according to the manufacturer's specifications.
The Common terminal and power supply must be checked against the EXPLX3V-16EYT wiring diagram before installation, as incorrect wiring can cause abnormal operation or damage.
Output Response Time Less Than 0.2 ms
The signal output response time of the module is less than 0.2 ms according to the catalog, suitable for applications requiring rapid changes in output status.
Actual operating speed depends on the PLC processing cycle, control program, and end devices as well. This Response Time does not confirm support for PWM or High-Speed Pulse Output specifically.
Photo-Coupling Circuit
The EXPLX3V-16EYT uses an internal Photo-Coupling circuit according to the catalog, which is a method of signal transmission using light within electronic devices.
Detailed electrical isolation and insulation voltage ratings are not specified; therefore, it's advisable to check the Datasheet for additional information if there are specific requirements regarding Electrical Isolation.
DC Output Voltage Range 5-30 V
The module supports a DC output voltage range of 5-30 V according to the catalog, suitable for connecting loads or external control circuits with appropriate electrical ratings.
This voltage range pertains specifically to the output circuit and should not be directly applied as the power supply voltage rating of the module because power supply specifications must be verified separately from the manufacturer's manual.
Maximum Output Current Rating
The catalog specifies a maximum drive current of 0.5 A for EXPLX3V-16EYT, but does not provide detailed channel-by-channel current ratings or module total current limits.
When selecting loads, it's important to check the operating current, surge current, and conditions for simultaneous multi-channel activation, especially inductive load devices that may require a back EMF protection circuit.
The 0.5 A current rating should not be used as an endorsement for all channels simultaneously without Datasheet confirmation.
Usage with PLC Systems
The EXPLX3V-16EYT is a Digital Output expansion module compatible with PLC systems, requiring verification of compatibility with the main CPU model, allowable number of modules to expand, and circuit connection requirements as per the manufacturer's manual.
It’s important to check power supply, wiring, and output terminals before actual use.
