Description

Output module selection

UF20 digital output modules provide NPN sinking or PNP sourcing outputs for 24VDC control circuits. Choose the channel count, output polarity and connection format together. Standard versions use push-in terminals; 32-channel models ending in -M use MIL connectors. These are UF20 expansion modules, with the network interface provided by the selected coupler.

Signal states and supply conditions

Output typeInactive state, 0/OFFActive state, 1/ON
NPN: all -N and -N-M models24VDC, ±25%Nominal 0VDC; ±3% tolerance with unspecified reference quantity
PNP: all -P and -P-M modelsNominal 0VDC; ±3% tolerance with unspecified reference quantity24VDC, ±25%

The percentage reference for the low-level ±3% tolerance is unspecified. It therefore does not establish an absolute low-level voltage limit. Signal-state voltage, working supply voltage and output-circuit voltage grade are separate specifications.

UF20-8DO-N output and bus specifications

The following details apply specifically to UF20-8DO-N. Its eight sinking outputs switch loads connected to the positive field supply. They must not be used as ratings for the PNP, 16-channel or 32-channel variants.

ParameterUF20-8DO-N
Bus input5VDC nominal; 4.75-5.25VDC
Bus input current82mA typical at 5VDC
System-side electrical isolation500VAC
Output methodNPN sinking, low-level active
Output-circuit voltage grade24VDC ±10%, equivalent to 21.6-26.4VDC
Output indicationChannel indicator lights while its output is active
Output protectionShort-circuit and overcurrent protection
Load typePer-channel limitPer-module limitSwitching frequency
Resistive0.5A2A100Hz
Inductive7.2W7.2W0.5Hz
Lamp5W5W10Hz

At 55°C, apply the specified 50% output derating and keep the combined current of simultaneously active outputs at or below 0.5A. When every output is active, apply a 10°C temperature derating. Observe the load-type limits and the simultaneous-output conditions together.

UF20-8DO-N terminal assignment

Connect the external positive field supply to A9 and its 0VDC return to B9. Each load connects between the positive supply and its assigned sinking output. B1-B8 have no signal assignment in this layout.

Installation and commissioning

Fit UF20-8DO-N into the adapter arrangement, release the upper latch, place the module on the DIN rail and press the latch to secure it. For removal, disconnect its signal and power cables, release the latch and withdraw modules in sequence along their guides. If a module resists insertion, inspect for obstruction before trying again.

The UF20-8DO-N guide includes connection and commissioning examples with UF20-RTU-PN in TIA Portal V17 and UF20-RTU-EC in TwinCAT. Select the coupler, device description and module order for the actual system. The examples do not establish interchangeability with UE20 or other module platforms.
