6. Optional add-on boards
The DPCT controller is available with four (4) additional
option cards: Relay Board, Secondary 4-20mA Device, and
MODBUS. The DPCT will have the capability to have future
option boards installed with the use of a firmware update.
The maximum allowable current through the relays is 8A
250VAC / 30VDC.
When a card is installed, the programming tab for the board
will become visible. Programming values will be retained on
option card.
