product description 

A discrete output module is an electronic component primarily used to convert a digital 

signal into a discrete output signal, such as a switching signal or binary code. These 

output signals can be used to control external devices, such as motors, solenoid valves, 

lights, etc. Discrete output modules can be divided into AC type and DC type, which can 

provide a wide range of voltage output. When the processor stores a binary number "1" 

at a specific memory address, the discrete output module provides power to the output 

device connected to its terminals. In addition, the discrete output module is usually equipped

 with a status indicator to show the working status of each individual output. In fault 

diagnosis, the status indicator is very important, so you need to ensure that it indicates 

correctly.

The discrete output module has the following characteristics:

Discrete: The output signal of the discrete output module is discrete, usually binary, such as 

high or low level. This discreteness allows modules to represent different states or events in 

a concise and clear manner.

Programmability: Discrete output modules can usually be programmed to control their output. 

This means that users can write programs according to their needs to implement specific 

output control logic.

Reliability: The circuit design of discrete output modules is usually relatively simple, which 

makes them more reliable. In addition, because its output signal is usually a switching signal, 

its output reliability is also high.

High efficiency: The output control mode of discrete output modules is usually more direct, 

and does not require complex mathematical operations or conversions like analog output 

modules. This makes its control more efficient and can quickly respond to external changes 

or events.

Scalability: Discrete output modules usually have multiple output channels, and the number 

of output channels can be expanded as needed. This makes the discrete output module have 

strong scalability and can adapt to the needs of different scale applications.

Ease of use: Discrete output modules usually have a simple interface and an easy-to-understand 

programming language that allows users to get started quickly. In addition, many discrete 

output modules also provide graphical interfaces, making it easier for users to program and debug.

In summary, the discrete output module has the characteristics of discreteness, programming, 

reliability, efficiency, scalability and ease of use, so it has been widely used in automation control, 

smart home and other fields.
