Overview
The Power Switch Module (CE-MD-005-0000), extends MachineMotion’s functionality with an integrated solid-state relay, which lets you switch various AC-powered devices on and off.
This plug-and-play module requires just three connections: one to the MachineMotion controller, one to an AC power outlet, and one to the device to control.
Compatible modules, including the Power Switch Module (CE-MD-004-0000), can also be daisy chained one after the other, making it possible to connect up to sixteen modules per MachineMotion controller.
This document covers requirements for current version of MachineMotion controller. For previous version, refer to link below:
Features
● Switch AC loads up to 15 A at 120 VAC or 10 A at 230 VAC.
● Support various loads with two types of output connectors: one NEMA 5-15R, and one, terminal block.
● Connect compatible modules via daisy chain.
● Configurable address.
● Plug-and-play to access from the Control Center, MachineLogic and Python API.
Programming options
Program the Pushbutton Module using [MachineLogic] or the [Python API]. It can also be accessed from the Control Center.
