Information About F2-08TRS

The Automation Direct F2-08TRS is a high-performance output module designed for use within PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems, specifically tailored for the DL205 series. This versatile output module is categorized under PLCs/Machine Control and serves as a critical component in managing and controlling various industrial processes. As an output module, the F2-08TRS is responsible for transmitting signals from the PLC to external devices, making it an essential element in any automation system that requires precise control of operations.

This module features eight output points, providing robust and reliable connectivity to a wide range of industrial devices. The F2-08TRS is engineered to handle both DC and AC voltages, with a nominal output voltage range of 12-24 VDC and 12-240 VAC. This dual voltage capability enhances the module's versatility, allowing it to be used in various applications, from low-voltage control circuits to higher-voltage industrial equipment.

The relay configuration of the F2-08TRS includes five Form A (SPST) no-suppression relays and three Form C (SPDT) no-suppression relays. These relays are designed to switch electrical loads on and off, making them ideal for controlling motors, solenoids, lights, and other industrial devices. The module’s ability to manage different types of relay configurations ensures that it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of various control systems, providing the flexibility required in complex automation environments.

Each of the eight output points is isolated, with one common per point, ensuring that each output operates independently without interference from other channels. This isolation enhances the reliability and safety of the module, particularly in systems where different outputs control devices operating at varying voltage levels or where electrical noise could impact performance. The lack of jumper-selectable isolation simplifies the configuration, making the F2-08TRS straightforward to install and set up.

The F2-08TRS is designed to handle a maximum load current of 7A per point, making it suitable for controlling a wide range of industrial devices with varying power requirements. This high current capacity ensures that the module can manage even demanding loads without compromising performance or reliability. However, it is important to note that the module requires a user-supplied external fuse for protection. This allows users to select the appropriate fuse type and rating based on the specific requirements of their application, providing additional flexibility and ensuring the safety of the system.

One of the practical features of the F2-08TRS is its removable terminal block, which simplifies installation and maintenance. The terminal block allows for easy wiring connections, reducing the time and effort required to install the module and connect it to external devices. This feature is particularly valuable in industrial environments where minimizing downtime and ensuring quick repairs or replacements are critical to maintaining productivity.

The F2-08TRS is fully compatible with DirectSOFT programming software version 4.0 or later, providing users with a powerful tool for configuring and programming the module. DirectSOFT offers a user-friendly interface and advanced features that facilitate the creation and management of complex control programs, ensuring that the F2-08TRS can be seamlessly integrated into existing automation systems.

In summary, the Automation Direct F2-08TRS output module is a reliable and versatile solution for industrial automation systems requiring precise control of output devices. Its eight isolated output points, flexible relay configurations, and wide voltage range make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications within the DL205 series. The module’s robust design, combined with its compatibility with DirectSOFT programming software, ensures that it meets the demands of modern industrial environments, providing reliable performance and ease of use. Whether used in new installations or as part of an upgrade to existing systems, the F2-08TRS is engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality operation in any automation setup.
