Overview
The Schneider 140-DRA-840-00 is a discrete relay output module designed for the TSX Quantum and Modicon Quantum PLC systems. This 16-channel relay module provides discrete output control with 1 Normally Open (NO) contact per channel in Form A configuration, making it ideal for switching contactors, indicators, and small actuators in machine and process control applications.
Key Features
- Fast response time of ≤20 ms on input opening for rapid state switching
- Mechanical durability rated to 10,000,000 cycles and electrical durability to 500,000 cycles
- Internal overvoltage protection via varistor to safeguard connected devices
- Isolation ratings of 1780 Vrms AC between channels and 2500 V DC between channels and bus
- Standard module format compatible with Quantum PLC chassis
- Hot-swappable design—no need to stop the system for module replacement
