The Modbus 4-channel relay module can be used to switch four electrically isolated relays via a Modbus interface. Various time functions can be used to influence the switching behaviour. All parameters can be set via Modbus RTU Interface. A subset of the most common settings is available via DIP switches.
The 5-way isolation guarantees reliable decoupling of the outputs from the processing circuit and the auxiliary power circuit. Auxiliary power and Modbus RTU must be connected via the In-Rail-Bus connector (see accessories).
