The ABB 200-OB8EP is an 8-channel digital output module belonging to the ABB S200 IO System. It is primarily designed for industrial automation controllers like the SattCon200, Advant Controller systems and SattLine setups.
Key Technical Specifications
- Channels: 8 digital output points.
- Voltage Rating: Nominal 24 V DC positive logic.
- Current Rating: 2 A per channel, allowing it to drive heavier loads like large contactors or solenoid valves.
- Protection Feature: Built-in electronic short-circuit protection ("EP" designation), safeguarding the hardware against external circuit wiring faults.
- Terminal Requirements: Requires a matching terminal base unit, such as the 200-TBN or 200-TBNF, for external field wiring.
- The module is physically and electronically cross-compatible with the widely used Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O platform (where the equivalent module part number is 1794-OB8EP). Both use the exact same underlying form factor, letting them slide onto identical terminal block bases
