Inputs: Logic or closures (Six inputs). The REX: Each input drives four relays; Inputs can be paralleled. Outputs: Contact closures (24 SPST), Punch block (50-pin RJ-21).
Features
- Six optically isolated inputs, active high or active low
- Each input drives four SPST relays, for 24 outputs
- Relays can be driven directly by moving a jumper
- Inputs can be paralleled for more simultaneous outputs
- Rear-panel LED for each output group; front LEDs for power and activity
- 50-pin SCSI (RJ-21) output connector for prewired telco punch blocks
More about the REX
No more soldering dozens of small output connectors.
