Description
Product name:CO-08TR AUTOMATION DIRECT Controller module
Product details:
The C0-08TR is a versatile output module that expands the capabilities of AutomationDirect’s CLICK PLCs by providing eight independent relay outputs. These relays can switch both AC and DC voltages, making the module suitable for a wide range of industrial control applications. It features removable terminal blocks for easy wiring and maintenance.

- 220VAC, 3A Inductive: 25,000 cycles (Note: “ON to OFF = 1 cycle”)
Product Advantages
- Versatility: Capable of switching both AC and DC loads, offering broad application flexibility.
- Multiple Outputs: Provides 8 individual relay outputs, allowing control of multiple devices from a single module.
- Isolation: The relay outputs provide electrical isolation between the PLC control circuitry and the switched loads, enhancing safety and protecting sensitive PLC components from electrical noise or faults in the load circuit.
- Removable Terminal Blocks: Simplifies wiring, installation, and replacement without disturbing existing wiring.
- CLICK PLC Integration: Seamlessly integrates with the AutomationDirect CLICK PLC system, providing a compact and cost-effective automation solution.
- Cost-Effective: AutomationDirect is known for offering competitive pricing on their automation products.
Precautions (Important Considerations)
- External Protection: The module does not have built-in overload or short-circuit protection for its outputs. It is crucial to install external fuses or other protection elements for each output to prevent damage to the module and associated equipment in case of an overload or short circuit.
- Load Type and Current: Pay close attention to the maximum current ratings for both resistive and inductive loads. Inductive loads (e.g., motors, solenoids) can cause voltage spikes when de-energized, which can degrade relay life. Proper snubber circuits or surge suppressors may be necessary for inductive loads to extend relay lifespan.
- Voltage and Current Limits: Do not exceed the specified operating voltage range or maximum current ratings per point and per common. Exceeding these limits can lead to module failure.
- Ambient Temperature: Refer to the module’s temperature derating charts (if available in the manual) to ensure that the operating temperature does not negatively impact the module’s performance or relay life, especially when all outputs are heavily loaded.
- Wiring Practices: Follow proper industrial wiring practices, including using appropriate wire gauges, proper grounding, and ensuring secure connections to the terminal blocks.
- Code Compliance: Always adhere to all applicable local and national electrical codes (e.g., National Electrical Code, NEMA standards) for installation and operation to minimize safety risks. AutomationDirect products are generally not designed for fault-tolerant, fail-safe, or high-risk applications (e.g., nuclear facilities, life support systems).
Product Applications
The C0-08TR relay output module is widely used in various industrial automation and control applications where discrete ON/OFF control of devices is required. Common applications include:
- Motor Control: Starting and stopping small motors, pumps, or fans.
- Solenoid Valve Control: Actuating pneumatic or hydraulic solenoid valves.
- Lighting Control: Turning industrial lights or indicator lamps on/off.
- Heater Control: Switching resistive heaters in process control.
- Annunciator Systems: Activating alarms, buzzers, or indicator lights.
- Conveyor Systems: Controlling individual sections or components of a conveyor.
- Machine Control: General-purpose ON/OFF control in various automated machinery.
- Building Automation: Controlling HVAC systems, access control, or other building services.
- Process Control: Activating pumps, agitators, or other devices in industrial processes.
