3.2.5  3 Opto Outputs 
The optocoupler outputs have one common potential (GND), separated from the common potential of the 
input group.  
 
Connecting method 
4-pin plug-in terminal block 
Cable 
Shielded, max. 50 m 
Number of outputs 
3 
Output signal 
External supply required 
Output current 
Max. 30 mA 
Output voltage 
Max. switching voltage: 30 V 
Potential isolation 
Yes, 3 outputs have got 1 common 
minus potential 
 
Example: relay control connection 
When output 1 is active (true), the relay switches.  
For protection of the output circuit, relays with 
free-wheel diode must be provided. 
 
Example: voltage output connection 
When output 1 is active (true), the output voltage 
changes from 24/12 V DC into <3 V DC.  
A load resistance of 2.2/1 k¥ must be provided.
