Overview Manuals Applications Performance Safety Certifications

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.
Description
6DS1603-8RR provides thirty-two electronic field commands from a double-Eurocard assembly and carries a higher per-channel rating than the BA output version. Each channel may supply up to 400 mA, but the complete module remains limited to 4 A, so simultaneous-load planning is central to correct use.

Outputs are protected against overload and short circuit and operate from a 19–33 V DC supply. The card tolerates a supply interruption of up to 15 ms at the stated condition, then requires the recovery interval before normal behavior can be assumed.

Reliability data changes with cabinet temperature, with the MTBF figure lower at 55 °C than at 40 °C. Load diversity, enclosure cooling, suppression and supply hold-up should therefore be reviewed as one system when replacing or uprating the card.

Technical notes
Although each 6DS1603-8RR output can reach 400 mA, never allocate 32 channels at that level simultaneously; the module total is limited to 4 A and thermal margin falls as cabinet temperature rises.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How should the 4 A ceiling of 6DS1603-8RR be applied?
Add the worst-case current of every simultaneously energized channel; the result must remain at or below the module total.
What happens during a brief supply dip on 6DS1603-8RR?
The card tolerates up to 15 ms interruption at the stated voltage, followed by a one-second recovery condition.
Why is cabinet temperature relevant to 6DS1603-8RR reliability?
MTBF is about 18.3 years at 40 °C and 9.6 years at 55 °C, showing the thermal effect.
Which electrical protection is built into 6DS1603-8RR?
The outputs include overload and short-circuit protection; external branch protection and load suppression are still required.
What separates 6DS1603-8RR from the 6DS1603-8BA card?
RR is the double-Eurocard form with up to 400 mA per channel; BA is a different 100 mA execution and is not a suffix-only substitute.
How should the 4 A simultaneity calculation support a 6DS1603-8RR spare request?
Include all label markings, supply voltage, load list with inrush, simultaneous-current calculation, rack type and destination.
