Overview
The Potter & Brumfield ODC-5 is a compact solid-state DC output module engineered for microprocessor and PLC-based control systems. This slim-line unit provides galvanic isolation between logic and load circuits, making it ideal for interfacing industrial controllers to external loads, switches, and sensor circuits. The module features photo-isolation technology with transient immunity rated for harsh industrial environments.
