MITSUBISHI DIGITAL OUTPUT UNIT QY10
The Mitsubishi QY10 is a digital output module designed for use with Mitsubishi’s Q series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It’s a crucial component for interfacing your PLC with the real world, allowing it to control external devices like actuators, relays, and valves.
Key Features of the QY10:
- 16 Output Points: It provides 16 digital output channels, enabling you to control up to 16 different output devices.
- 240V AC / 24V DC Switching: The relays can switch both AC voltages up to 240V and DC voltages up to 24V, offering flexibility in controlling various types of loads.
- 2A Contact Rating: Each relay contact can handle a current of up to 2A, allowing you to control a variety of loads.
- Common Terminal: The outputs share a common terminal, simplifying wiring.
- Compact Design: It’s designed to be compact, making it suitable for installations where space is limited.
Applications:
- Machine Control: Controlling actuators, valves, and other output devices on a machine.
- Process Control: Switching relays to control valves, pumps, and other process equipment.
- Material Handling: Controlling motors, solenoids, and other devices in material handling systems.
- Packaging: Activating actuators and other devices on packaging machines.
How it Works:
The QY10 module connects to the PLC’s backplane and receives power from the PLC’s power supply. When the PLC’s control program instructs the QY10 to turn on an output, the module energizes the corresponding relay, closing its contacts and allowing current to flow to the connected output device.
