Features:
- Thirty-two protected outputs operate from a 19–33 V DC field supply.
- Individual channels allow up to 400 mA while all active loads together must remain within 4 A.
- The double-Eurocard weighs approximately 290 g and follows Class III electrical-safety construction.
The RR article identifies the 400 mA/channel double-Eurocard execution used for heavier discrete field loads.
Electronic switches apply the external supply to commanded circuits while protection limits overload and short-circuit stress.
Build a worst-case simultaneity and temperature calculation, then confirm supply-interruption behavior before accepting the replacement design.

- Valve coils and relay banks with moderate 24 V current can be driven without a separate output card for every load group.
- Field indicators and annunciators can share the module when the 4 A aggregate limit is observed.
- Legacy TELEPERM cabinets can retain the double-Eurocard mechanics and original process connector.
- Each electronic output can deliver up to 400 mA for compatible 24 V DC field devices within the channel limit.
- Combined loading across all active channels must remain below the 4 A total-current rating of the output card.
- The double-Eurocard supplies thirty-two field commands with a higher per-channel current than the BA execution.
- Class III construction under DIN EN 60950, IEC 950 and VDE 0805 defines the module's extra-low-voltage safety basis.
- Simultaneous loading must be calculated, load suppression provided and the specified supply retained during interruptions.
- All thirty-two output circuits must be isolated from work before connector removal or field-wiring changes are performed.
- The double-Eurocard mechanical format aligns the board with the specified TELEPERM rack and connector system.
- UL 94 V-1 flammability performance applies to the relevant insulating materials used in the module construction.
- Applicable DIN EN, IEC and VDE electrical-safety requirements govern integration into the completed control cabinet.
