The main application of the high power relay output is to power an electrical heating element directly.
The outputs can be configured as one of the following types:
Digital output
Digital pulsed output
Pulse width modulated output
Consider the expected number of operation cycles specified for the relay output (cycle life rating) when configuring the period for a pulse width modulated (PWM) output point.
The DO high power relay outputs are Form C digital outputs, which means the outputs are switching contacts with one common terminal (C), one normally-open terminal (NO), and one normally-closed terminal (NC). The terminals are isolated from other circuits of the device and from signal ground.
