DO Module Output Issues
Posted: 11 Dec 2021, 10:20
Hello there,
We've got some very weird problems going on with the DO module. It seems like the module is not able to switch the lower half of the outputs correctly. They are used to switch Phoenix Contact Relais. After some time the first module we used decided to die spontan spontaneously and violently. Further investigation revealed that all the outputs are shorted.
The power of the outputs should be more than enough to switch those relais, the relais even come with a protecting diode.
At first I thought maybe something was wired wrongly, but I checked everything and it was fine. Sadly, the replacement module seems to have the same issue, we already issued a ticket at the supplier to get the cash back.
Is this a common problem? We really need the functionality for a project but I do not want to waste any more money on another module which may die aswell....
All the best
