Efficient terminal management

The I/O module terminals are clearly labelled and
protected by transparent covers. The input and
output terminals are at the top and bottom of each
module and are accessible for maintenance without
removing the module. The StruxureWare Building
Operation WorkStation software can generate
custom as-built labels for each module. Pre-
perforated letter and A4 size label sheets are
available as an accessory.

Accommodates multiple row panel installations

The Automation Server module family uses built-in
connectors for single row connectivity, side by side.
If a panel size requires multiple rows, extension
cords are available.

Digital outputs
The Form A digital outputs of the DO-FA-12 and
DO-FA-12-H I/O modules are closing contacts with
one common terminal (C) and one normally open
terminal (NO). The terminals are isolated from signal
ground.

The I/O bus in the terminal base provides the I/O

module with power and an address.

The address value in the I/O bus is increased by

one for each terminal base. The I/O bus also
enables RS-485 communication between the I/O
module and the Automation Server.
