Finder 8A.88.9.024.160C Codesys SSR Expansion Module, 12-24V DC, 16 Digital/Analog Inputs, 8 SSR Outputs

The Finder 8A.88.9.024.160C is a high-performance Codesys-compatible SSR expansion module specifically engineered for the Finder 8A series. This versatile unit operates on a 12-24V DC power supply and is designed to integrate seamlessly into industrial automation environments. It provides robust signal processing through 16 configurable inputs, which can be set as either digital or analog 0-10V signals, alongside 8 solid-state relay outputs capable of handling 3A loads. Its compact, modular design ensures efficient space utilization within control cabinets while maintaining high reliability for demanding switching tasks.

Advantages

This expansion module offers significant flexibility by allowing users to configure inputs for both digital and analog signals, making it suitable for a wide range of sensor and control applications. The use of solid-state relay technology ensures silent operation, high switching frequency, and a long service life compared to traditional electromechanical relays. Its compatibility with the Codesys programming environment simplifies integration into existing automation architectures, reducing development time and complexity. The compact form factor is specifically optimized for DIN-rail mounting, facilitating organized and space-efficient installations in industrial control panels.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and process control systems
• Integration with PLC-based control architectures
• Signal monitoring and switching for sensors and actuators
• Building automation and HVAC control systems
• High-frequency switching applications requiring silent operation

This module may not be suitable for applications requiring high-voltage switching beyond the specified 3A load capacity per output. It is also not intended for environments where the operating voltage deviates from the 12-24V DC range or where extreme environmental conditions exceed the manufacturer's specified operating temperature and protection ratings.

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 12-24V DC
• Inputs: 16 configurable digital or analog 0-10V inputs
• Outputs: 8 solid-state relay (SSR) outputs
• Output rating: 3A per output
• Compatibility: Codesys-ready for 8A series
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible

To use the module, mount it securely onto a standard DIN rail within your control cabinet and connect the 12-24V DC power supply to the designated terminals. Configure the 16 inputs according to your specific sensor requirements, selecting between digital or 0-10V analog modes via the control software. Connect your output devices to the 8 SSR terminals, ensuring that the load does not exceed the 3A rating per channel. Once physical connections are established, integrate the module into your Codesys project to map the inputs and outputs to your control logic.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control system supports Codesys integration
• Ensure the 12-24V DC power supply meets the module's requirements
• Confirm that the 3A output capacity is sufficient for your connected loads
• Check available space on the DIN rail for the module's dimensions

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that the module is installed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Regularly inspect all terminal connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion, especially in environments subject to vibration.
