Core functional features
1. High integration transistor output design
The module integrates 64 independent transistor output points and adopts a mature transistor switch structure, which has the advantages of fast response speed and long service life. It can directly drive industrial execution equipment such as relays, contactor coils, small solenoid valves, indicator lights, etc. The 64 point high integration design can effectively reduce the rack space occupied by modules, simplify the on-site wiring architecture, reduce system installation costs and maintenance difficulties, and is particularly suitable for centralized control scenarios with multiple actuators in large production lines.
2. Reliable photoelectric isolation protection mechanism
The module adopts a photo coupler internally to achieve electrical isolation between the output signal and the internal control circuit, effectively blocking the influence of on-site interference signals on the control system, and preventing the back electromotive force of on-site execution equipment from damaging the internal circuit of the module, greatly improving the stability of signal output and the service life of the module. Combined with built-in surge suppression and other protective designs, it can resist surge voltage and electromagnetic interference in industrial sites, and adapt to complex and harsh industrial environments.
3. Wide voltage adaptation and stable driving capability
The module supports wide voltage output adaptation from 12VDC to 24VDC, compatible with common DC power supply execution equipment in industrial fields. The rated output current can meet the driving requirements of conventional small actuators. Its output characteristics are stable, with low leakage current, which can effectively avoid equipment misoperation caused by leakage current and ensure the accurate execution of control instructions.
4. Intuitive state monitoring and convenient maintenance
The module is equipped with independent LED status indicator lights, and each output point corresponds to a dedicated indicator light. When the output signal is valid (On), the indicator light lights up, which can intuitively judge the working status of each channel and facilitate on-site troubleshooting. The module adopts standardized connectors as external interfaces, with clear and convenient wiring. At the same time, the module is compact in size and lightweight, making it easy for rack installation and later maintenance and disassembly.
5. Good system compatibility
As a dedicated module for the FA-M3 series, it is seamlessly compatible with most CPU modules in the series without the need for additional adaptation configurations. It can quickly integrate into existing FA-M3 PLC systems and support flexible networking between the main station and remote I/O stations, improving the convenience of system expansion.

Precautions for safe operation and maintenance
1. Wiring safety
-Before wiring, all external power sources must be disconnected to avoid electric shock or module burnout; It is strictly prohibited to connect AC power to DC input/output terminals, otherwise it will directly damage the module and connected execution equipment
-The end of the wire should be processed according to the specifications, and the end of the twisted wire should be tightly twisted without looseness. It is not recommended to tin it; The tightening torque of the terminal should be controlled within the specified range (0.22~0.25N • m for European terminals and 0.5~0.8N • m for conventional terminals) to avoid poor contact caused by over tightening or over loosening
-Prohibit wiring empty terminals, do not connect wires that do not meet specifications or exceed the specified number of wires, to avoid short circuits or wire breakage faults; When connecting the execution device, it is necessary to confirm that the rated voltage and current of the device match the output capability of the module
2. Safe operation
-Do not touch the terminals while powered on to avoid electric shock or misoperation; Before changing the program, forcing output, or switching between RUN/STOP states during operation, it is necessary to fully confirm on-site safety to prevent mechanical damage or accidents
-Emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, and interlock circuit (such as preventing simultaneous forward and reverse actions) must be set up outside the PLC to avoid dangerous actions caused by module failures or program abnormalities
-Avoid bundling or laying control lines with main circuits or power lines in close proximity (recommended spacing ≥ 100mm) to prevent electromagnetic interference from causing misoperation; Stay away from devices that generate high-frequency interference and waveform distortion, such as frequency converters and thyristor circuits
-If used in conjunction with a current transformer (CT), it must be correctly connected to the CT secondary side. Before disconnecting the instrument, the CT secondary side should be short circuited to avoid high voltage on the secondary side that may cause electric shock or equipment damage
3. Maintenance and upkeep
-Maintenance operations such as cleaning and tightening terminals must be carried out after disconnecting all power sources; Unauthorized disassembly or modification of modules is prohibited, as it may result in malfunctions, fires, or malfunctions
-When disassembling and assembling expansion cables and peripheral devices, power off operation is required to avoid damage to the internal circuit of the module; Regularly check the terminal connection status, LED indicator light operation, and promptly identify loose or abnormal channels
-Prevent foreign objects such as chips and wire shavings from falling into the module ventilation holes to prevent short circuits, fires, or misoperations; The module casing is coated with anti-static agent. When cleaning, gently wipe it with a soft and dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth to avoid reducing the anti-static effect
-Modules that operate in dusty and humid environments for a long time require regular cleaning of surface dust, checking of protective status, and taking additional protective measures if necessary
4. Fault handling
-If there is an abnormal output signal, first check the status of the executing device, wiring connection, and power supply, and then investigate the module channel; If there are abnormal conditions such as module overheating, odor, abnormal noise, or smoking, the power should be cut off immediately and the use should be stopped
-When a module malfunctions, it is recommended to contact an authorized repair agency of Yokogawa Electric for assistance, and self repair is not recommended; When replacing modules, it is necessary to ensure that the model matches and disassemble them after power off to avoid system compatibility issues
