[0002] At present, the digital output of PLC / DCS in industrial control is generally controlled directly by controller cards or controlled by relays. Due to various unexpected and uncontrollable factors in the actual construction, debugging and operation process, individual models are inevitably prone to grounding or signal source interference and other faults, and direct control of PLC / DCS is easy to be damaged, thus affecting the operation of the controller and posing a safety hazard. The use of general relay isolation requires a large amount of wiring work during installation, is prone to errors, and occupies a large amount of space. The controller is the core of the control system. If the control system loses control, the consequences will be serious. At the least, the equipment will not operate normally, and at the worst, it will cause control failure, resulting in significant economic losses, or even a production safety accident. Based on this, the utility model designs a PLC / DCS digital output relay module to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a PLC / DCS digital output relay module to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

C terminal, 1COM terminal, 1NO terminal and two V-terminals, the VCC terminal and COM terminal of the power terminal are respectively connected to the second wire and the first wire, a first fuse and a power indicator light are connected in series between the second wire and the first wire, the third fuse is converted and connected between the first wire and the 1COM terminal, the second fuse is converted and connected between the COM terminal of the isolation relay and the second wire or the 1COM terminal, the NC and NO terminals of the isolation relay are respectively connected to the 1NC terminal and the 1NO terminal, the positive terminal of the coil of the isolation relay is connected to the plug through the third wire, a status indicator light is connected in series between the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the coil of the isolation relay, and the negative terminal of the coil of the isolation relay is also connected to the plug and two V-terminals through a negative common line.
[0005] Preferably, a first voltage-limiting resistor is connected in series between the first fuse and the power indicator light, and a second voltage-limiting resistor is connected in series between the positive end and the negative end of the coil of the isolation relay.
[0006] Preferably, the power indicator light, the first voltage-limiting resistor, the first fuse, the status indicator light and the second voltage-limiting resistor are detachably connected to the epoxy resin base plate via a connector.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model aims at the influence of digital output signals that are prone to failure on the control system, and the core is to solve the influence of fault signals on the digital output cards and wiring errors of the control system. According to actual control needs, the module is equipped with isolation relays at each digital output signal, and there is no direct electrical connection between the load and the control system card. Once a load failure or power failure occurs, the damage is at most to the relay, and the loss is minimized; in addition, each relay output circuit is equipped with a protective fuse. Once a short circuit or failure occurs at a certain point, the fuse can be reliably blown to cut off the relevant signal, thereby ensuring the normal power supply and load, and preventing the expansion of damage or loss; the module wiring is fully integrated, which solves the possibility of signal line failure due to human error, thereby preventing the occurrence of the situation where the entire related control system is completely out of control due to human reasons.
[0011] The module power supply and each branch are equipped with status signal indicators to indicate that the signal is normal, making it easier to find the fault point. By checking the module, the error location can be quickly located and the fault point can be found, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and shortening maintenance time.
[0012] Finally, the module is small in size, supports installation on a variety of standard guide rails, generates little heat, and can be arranged in a centralized manner; the module is connected to the PLC / DCS via a nine-pin plug, which is convenient and quick; the module and signal source connection terminals are pluggable, which makes wiring convenient and flexible for debugging; the PLC / DCS digital input signals on the market are generally multiples of 8, and the use of this module allows for flexible configuration without wasting points.
