ADAM-4068 Relay Module Performance Features
Eight Relay Output Channels
The ADAM-4068 provides eight relay output channels, including four Form A contacts and four Form C contacts, for flexible remote switching configurations.Compatible AC And DC Load Switching
The relay contacts support compatible resistive loads up to 0.5 A at 120 VAC, 0.25 A at 240 VAC, 1 A at 30 VDC, and 0.3 A at 110 VDC.Modbus RTU And ASCII Protocol Compatibility
The module supports Modbus RTU and ASCII command protocols for integration with RS-485 based control systems, PLCs, and supervisory software.500 VAC Breakdown Voltage
A 500 VAC breakdown voltage provides electrical separation between relay contacts to support reliable use in industrial switching applications.Fast Typical Relay Response
Typical relay on time is 3 ms and typical relay off time is 4 ms, providing responsive control of compatible field loads.System And Communication Watchdog Timers
The 1.6 second system and communication watchdog timers help support stable operation and help monitor the status of the module and its communications.Industrial Temperature And Humidity Ratings
The ADAM-4068 operates from -10 to 70°C with 5 to 95% RH operating humidity, supporting installation in industrial control environments.
