URD-0016CG-8 – Unitronics DO16,Source,24VDC/0.3A,18R

Why Choose the Unitronics URD-0016CG-8 Digital Output Module?

The Unitronics URD-0016CG-8 is a compact 16-channel transistor digital output module designed for the UniStream Remote I/O platform. It provides sixteen sourcing digital outputs operating at 24 V DC, enabling PLC systems to control relays, solenoids, actuators and signalling devices within distributed industrial automation systems.

Installed as part of a UniStream remote I/O assembly, the module connects to a remote Ethernet adapter which communicates with the PLC controller. This distributed architecture allows I/O modules to be placed closer to machines and field equipment, reducing wiring complexity and enabling scalable industrial control systems.

With 16 high-speed transistor outputs, fast switching response and a slim DIN-rail form factor, the URD-0016CG-8 provides reliable high-density digital output expansion for modern machine automation applications.
