imo xbe-dr16a xgb plc expansion module

Why Choose the IMO XBE-DR16A Digital Input / Relay Output Module?

The IMO XBE-DR16A is a compact and reliable digital input and relay output expansion module designed for IMO XGB programmable logic controller systems. Combining eight 24 V DC digital inputs with eight relay outputs in a single module, it provides a practical way to expand PLC-controlled machinery and industrial automation equipment.

As part of the IMO XGB expansion I/O range, the XBE-DR16A allows a compatible controller to monitor field devices such as sensors, switches and push buttons while simultaneously controlling contactors, indicators, solenoid valves and other electrical loads. Its combination of inputs and relay outputs can reduce the number of separate expansion modules required in compact control systems.

The module provides 8 digital inputs rated at 24 V DC together with 8 relay outputs. The inputs use photocoupler isolation and operate over a 20.4–28.8 V DC range, while the relay contacts support AC and DC switching applications with a maximum load voltage of 250 V AC or 125 V DC.

Flexible Digital I/O for Industrial Automation

Combined digital input and relay output modules allow a PLC to monitor discrete field signals and control electrical loads from a single expansion unit. The IMO XBE-DR16A provides eight 24 V DC input channels for receiving signals from sensors and switches together with eight relay contacts for switching compatible AC or DC loads.

The relay outputs make the XBE-DR16A particularly versatile where electrical isolation and the ability to switch different load voltages are required. Selectable input response times provide additional flexibility for signal filtering, while status indication helps engineers quickly identify active outputs during commissioning and maintenance.
