Latching Relay Boasts Of Fail-Safe Control

A new latching relay output module provides fail-safe control by latching the last output contact state, on or off, prior to power-down. The G-1AMPx-LTCH relay module is compatible with industry standard I/O mounting racks for G-series, G4, G5 and C4 type modules and can be used for 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V logic operation. Reverse logic and Gx2-Seriies models have been developed as well. The module is designed for applications where the contact state must be maintained when power is removed or lost. Power to the module is only required to change the output contact state at less then 3 ms, making control applications practical where power is limited, such as in solar- or battery-powered equipment. An LED indicator operates from an auxiliary set of internal relay contacts to indicate the true state of the output contact in real-time. BRENTEK INTERNATIONAL INC., York, PA. (800) 273-6835.
