Product Introduction
The 8115-DO-DC is an 8-channel digital output module engineered for the PAC8000 remote I/O and process automation platform. It functions as a core switching link, translating high-level controller logic instructions into stable DC switching output signals.
Designed to efficiently drive on-site industrial loads—such as solenoids, indicator lamps, industrial relays, and small valve actuators—the module supports a wide voltage range and integrates robust line protection features to maintain operational reliability in harsh industrial settings.

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Designed to meet rigorous industrial electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) specifications, ensuring stable operation around high-noise electrical equipment.
- Conforms to relevant international industrial safety standards for non-isolated modular distributed control system (DCS) peripherals.
Technical Note: Always verify that field load power supplies match the 2–60 VDC operational window and confirm module key code alignment (Key Code: B6) prior to physical insertion onto the carrier backplane.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Keep the module hermetically sealed inside its original metallized anti-static (ESD) shielding bag to protect internal microcontrollers and switching elements from static discharge.
- Store inventory in a climate-controlled room where relative humidity is strictly maintained below 60% to prevent terminal block corrosion.
- Avoid exposing spare units to mechanical drops or heavy vibrations.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that all loop power feeds, field actuators, and backplane communication paths are de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to module mounting or removal.
- Snap the module securely onto the approved PAC8000 DIN rail mounting system, verifying that backplane connector pins seat cleanly without binding.
- Confirm that software configuration profiles (such as initial startup states and pulse/delay parameters) match your control logic narrative before live commissioning.
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to the international shipment of this digital output module?
A: Industrial automation control cards and electronic I/O hardware typically classify under HS code 8538.90 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with control apparatus). Confirm final categorization with your customs broker.
Q: Does the 8115-DO-DC require external loop power?
A: Yes, it utilizes bussed field power ranging from 2 to 60 VDC to drive field-side loads, while drawing its internal logic power directly from the carrier railbus.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market conditions and available surplus inventory levels; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation
