The 2080-OB4 is a digital output module from Allen Bradley’s Micro800 series. It is designed to control and monitor the output signals of a device or system. This module can be configured to operate in a variety of modes, including standard, pulse catch, timed, and output inhibit modes. In this article, we will provide a detailed guide on how to wire the 2080-OB4 module and use it in a variety of applications.
Wiring Diagram
The wiring diagram for the 2080-OB4 module is relatively simple, and it involves connecting the module to the power source and to the device or system that it is intended to control. The following steps outline the wiring process:
| Terminal | Function |
|---|---|
| 1 | PULSE CATCH |
| 2 | COMMON |
| 3-6 | OUTPUT 0-3 |
| 7 | +24V DC |
| 8 | +10V DC |
Step 1: Turn off the power supply to the device or system that you will be connecting to the 2080-OB4 module.
Step 2: Connect the +24V DC power supply to terminal 7 of the module. This will provide power to the module.
Step 3: Connect the +10V DC power supply to terminal 8 of the module. This will provide power to the internal circuitry of the module.
Step 4: Connect the common wire from the device or system that you will be controlling to terminal 2 of the module.
Step 5: Connect the output wires from the device or system that you will be controlling to terminals 3-6 of the module. The wiring order for the output terminals is not important, but you should ensure that each output wire is connected to a separate terminal.
Step 6: If you are using the pulse catch mode, connect the pulse catch wire from the device or system that you will be controlling to terminal 1 of the module.
Step 7: Turn on the power supply to the device or system that you have connected to the 2080-OB4 module. The module is now ready to be used.
FAQ
What are the different modes of operation for the 2080-OB4 module?
The 2080-OB4 module can be configured to operate in the following modes:
- Standard mode: In this mode, the module operates like a standard digital output module. It provides an output signal that is either on or off, depending on the state of the input signal.
- Pulse catch mode: In this mode, the module captures a pulse signal from the device or system that it is controlling and provides an output signal that is equal to the duration of the pulse signal.
- Timed mode: In this mode, the module provides an output signal for a specific amount of time after receiving an input signal.
- Output inhibit mode: In this mode, the module is designed to prevent the output signal from being activated accidentally. It requires a specific input signal in order to activate the output signal.
What is the maximum load that the 2080-OB4 module can control?
The 2080-OB4 module can control a maximum load of 2 A per output channel. This means that you should not connect devices or systems that exceed this limit to the module, as doing so can damage the module or cause it to malfunction.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 2080-OB4 module?
The 2080-OB4 module can operate at a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F). You should ensure that the module is not exposed to temperatures that exceed this limit, as doing so can damage the module or cause it to malfunction.
Can the 2080-OB4 module be used in hazardous environments?
The 2080-OB4 module is not rated for use in hazardous environments. You should avoid using the module in environments where there is a risk of explosion, fire, or other hazardous conditions, as doing so can cause serious injury or damage.
What types of devices or systems can be controlled by the 2080-OB4 module?
The 2080-OB4 module can be used to control a wide range of devices and systems, including motors, solenoids, relays, valves, and other types of equipment. You should ensure that the devices or systems that you connect to the module are compatible with its specifications and operating modes.
