Overview
The Opto 22 ODC5 is a rugged standard DC output module engineered for controlling and switching DC loads in industrial automation applications. The ODC5 is a Standard DC Output Module with rugged construction used for controlling or switching DC loads. It provides 4000V (transient) of optical isolation between the field devices and the control logic. With its 5VDC logic input, the ODC5 integrates seamlessly into existing Opto 22 SNAP PAC and legacy automation systems.
Key Features
- 4000V (transient) of optical isolation between the field devices and the control logic
- DC Output, 5-60 VDC, 5 VDC Logic
- Rugged industrial-grade construction for harsh environments
- Typical applications for DC output modules include switching loads such as DC relays, DC solenoids, DC motor starters, DC lamps or indicators and PLC logic
- Designed for SNAP PAC and legacy Opto 22 mounting racks
Technical Specifications
- Output Voltage Range: 5–60 VDC
- Logic Input Voltage: 5 VDC
- Optical Isolation: 4000V (transient)
- Operating Temperature: –30 to +70°C
- Module Type: Standard DC Output (non-configurable)
- Compatible Racks: SNAP PAC I/O and legacy Opto 22 mounting systems
Typical Applications
Typical applications for DC output modules include switching loads such as DC relays, DC solenoids, DC motor starters, DC lamps or indicators and PLC logic. The ODC5 is particularly suited for discrete on/off control of field devices in process automation, machine control, and remote monitoring systems where optical isolation is required.
