Schneider Electric AS-B838-032 Programmable Logic Controller Module

Schneider Electric's AS-B838-032 32-point discrete output module is part of the MODICON 800-Series I/O family and provides 24 VDC outputs for driving field devices such as relays, solenoids, and actuators. The module comprises four groups of eight outputs (32 total) with a maximum of 0.5 A per point, a per-group limit of 4 A, and a module-wide maximum of 12 A, delivering true high-output capability. It requires an external power supply (typical 24 ± 4 Vdc, 125 mA) to power the outputs and occupies one rack slot; its dimensions are 50 mm (H) × 270 mm (L) × 210 mm (W) and it weighs about 1.2 kg. Response times are specified as up to 1 ms for both OFF-to-ON and ON-to-OFF transitions, enabling fast sequencing alongside independent 32-channel control. This 800-series module is commonly used to interface the Modicon controller with 24 VDC devices in machines, conveyors, and automated systems requiring reliable, individually controllable outputs.
