Schneider AEG AS-B824-016
The AS-B824-016 is a discrete I/O module of the Schneider Electric (formerly AEG Modicon) 984 series, specifically designed as a 16-point True-High output card for 24 V DC systems. Classified as True-High (Polarity-Protected) type, it supplies positive voltage (+24 V DC) at the output terminals while the negative terminal is grounded or connected to the common port, enabling safe driving of external loads without connecting the negative pole.
Key Technical Specifications
Rated Voltage: 24 V DC (+4 V for internal circuits)Output Points: 16 points (divided into two groups of 8 points)Maximum Output Current per Point: Approx. 175 mA (Polarity-Protected type)Total Output Power: Approx. 2.8 W (16 × 175 mA × 24 V)Output Characteristics: Polarity-Protected, maintaining output voltage in case of load short circuit or grounding to prevent module damageWiring Method: Terminal block (screw-type), with independent output terminals for each point; Common (COM) port serves as negative/groundOperating Temperature Range: 0 °C – 55 °C (Industrial Grade)Dimensions: Compliant with 984 series standard 1U (approx. 44 mm × 90 mm × 140 mm)Compatibility: Directly pluggable into 984 series PLCs (e.g., CPU-984, CPU-984 H) or usable via backplane/rack expansion cards
Product Features
True-High Output: Delivers stable +24 V DC, compatible with most relays, contactors, lamps and other loadsPolarity Protection: Maintains output during load short circuit or incorrect grounding, enhancing system reliabilityHigh Density: 16 points per card, saving cabinet spaceModular Design: Plug-and-play, supports hot swap (replacement under shutdown status) for convenient maintenanceIndustrial-Grade Durability: Compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 standard, vibration and shock resistant, suitable for harsh field environmentsWide PLC Compatibility: Fully compatible with Schneider Modicon 984 series and some compatible Gould/Modicon series PLCs
Structure & Components
Housing: Metal protective casing with heat dissipation holesTerminal Block: Screw-type terminals for 8 points per group, with clear markings for fast wiringInternal Circuitry: Adopts high-reliability MOSFET/IGBT switching components to realize polarity protection functionCommon (COM) Port: Unified negative/ground terminal shared by all outputsIndicator Lights (Some Models): LED status indicators for power and fault conditions
Typical Application Fields
Automation Control Systems: Driving relays and contactors in PLC control cabinetsProcess Industry: Controlling valve and pump startup in production lines of chemical, petroleum, food & beverage industriesMechanical Equipment: Solenoid valves and indicator lights of CNC machine tools, packaging machinery and conveying systemsBuilding Automation: On-off control of air conditioning, lighting and security systemsEnergy Management: Protection and monitoring of generator sets and distribution cabinets
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Installation
- Insert the module into the slot of 984 series-compliant rack or backplane, ensuring the slot buckle is locked in place
- Fix the terminal block on the cabinet panel with screws to avoid loosening
- Follow the wiring sequence of +24 V DC → Output Terminal → Load → COM during wiring to prevent incorrect connection
Wiring Recommendations
- Use cables compliant with IEC 60204-1 standard; cross-sectional area should meet the safety margin for 175 mA current (0.5 mm² copper wire is commonly used)
- For high-current loads (e.g., contactor coils), it is recommended to install fuses or overcurrent protection between output terminals and loads
Commissioning
- Check if the power indicator light is on after power-on
- Verify the normalcy of +24 V DC voltage at each point with a multimeter or oscilloscope
- Perform ON/OFF tests on output points in PLC program to confirm load response
Maintenance
- Regularly check the tightness of terminal screws to prevent loosening caused by vibration
- Immediately cut off power to check for load short circuit or overload if abnormal output voltage or module overheating is detected
- The module has no moving parts; most faults are caused by electrical abnormalities or poor terminal contact, which can be resolved by cleaning terminals and re-tightening
