This module has 16 digital outputs. The maximum continuous output current per channel is 0.5 A. The outputs are current limited and protected against over temperature. The outputs are divided into two groups with eight output channels and one voltage supervision input in each group. Each output channel consists of a current limited and over temperature protected high side driver, EMC protection components, inductive load suppression, output state indication LED and optical isolation barrier.

• 16 channels for 24 V d.c. current sourcing outputs
• 2 isolated groups of 8 channels with process voltage supervision
• Advanced on-board diagnostics
• Output status indicators
• OSP sets outputs to predetermined state upon error detection
• Redundant or single applications
• Current limited and over-temperature protection

ABB has been concerned with environmental issues for a long time. Consequently, the ABB group was an early adopter of ISO 14001-based environmental management systems and has formally been certified to that standard for years.

An important component of those systems is Life-cycle Assessments (LCA’s) of the ABB group’s products. These involve studying the environmental impact of products over their lifetimes by quantifying the input of energy and raw materials needed and the emissions and waste generated throughout the products’ lifecycles. These studies are carried out according to the ISO 14040-43 standard and then condensed into environmental declarations like this one.

Consequently, the environmental management systems specify how the group’s environmental work shall be carried out while the environmental declarations describe the results of that work.
