Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I select the correct fuse for the 1790-T0A8X module?
- Select a fuse that matches the 0.5 A maximum RMS load per output point.
- Does this module support DC voltage loads for industrial actuators?
- No, this specific model only supports AC voltage ranges between 15V and 132V.
- Can I mix different AC phases across the eight output points?
- You must use the same AC phase because all outputs share internal connections.
- What is the best way to confirm the output status during troubleshooting?
- Observe the eight green LED indicators located on the front of the module.
- Where can I get urgent technical support for wiring configurations?
- Reach our engineering team via WhatsApp at +86 158 8020 0923 for help.
