Component Specifications

Definition
The Output Handler is an electronic/mechanical interface component within Decision Combiner machinery that receives processed decision signals and converts them into actionable output commands for connected actuators, motors, valves, or other control devices. It ensures proper signal conditioning, amplification, and distribution to execute combined decisions from multiple input sources.
Working Principle
Operates on signal processing and relay logic principles: receives low-power decision signals from the Decision Combiner's processing unit, amplifies them to appropriate power levels, isolates electrical circuits when necessary, and transmits precise timing/amplitude commands to output devices through standardized industrial communication protocols (4-20mA, 0-10V, digital I/O, or fieldbus networks).
Materials
High-grade industrial plastics (PBT, PEEK) for housing, copper alloy contacts, gold-plated connectors, ceramic substrates for circuit isolation, silicone sealing gaskets, and flame-retardant PCBs with lead-free solder.
Technical Parameters
  • Response Time <5ms
  • Output Channels 8 isolated channels
  • Protection Rating IP65
  • Max Output Current 2A per channel
  • Input Voltage Range 24VDC ±10%
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +70°C
  • Communication Protocols Modbus RTU, Profibus, Ethernet/IP
Standards
ISO 13849-1, IEC 61131-2, DIN EN 60947-5-1
