What supply voltages are required for logic and outputs?

The unit uses a 24V supply for input and output circuits and accepts 24V for internal control power within the specified ranges.

How is status communicated to engineers on site?

Diagnostic and status LEDs provide Visual indication of power, error, hold/clear and address settings for straightforward troubleshooting.

Which connector types are provided for field wiring?

The module uses an M8 three‑pin plug for input connections and M12‑style connectors for communication and power interfaces as required.

Can it withstand mechanical vibration and shocks typical in industrial settings?

The enclosure meets vibration and impact resistance criteria with reinforced mounting provisions and tie‑rod attachment points for manifold integration.
