OPTIONAL SOLID-STATE RELAY CARD (SSRC4)
The optional solid-state relay card is a four-channel, optically coupled card used to
control direct current output voltage to field equipment. It is an ideal choice in
applications formerly governed by older style mechanical relay circuits. Wear, arcing,
noise, and other problems inherent with mechanical relays are eliminated. The main
purpose of the SSRC4 is to drive reversible DC motors.
There are four individual channels, each having a status-indicating LED, and whose
outputs are fused at two amps. +12 to +24 VDC power to the outputs, and for
operation of the solid state relays, is applied to the VS and COM terminals. A low (0)
digital pulse from the RTU will trigger one channel of the card, and light the associated
LED. The operating voltage is fully isolated from the RTU triggering signals.
For proper operation, jumper JP3 must be removed and JP4 must be installed. Four
digital I/O lines are used to address the card. Ports P4.0, P5.0, P6.0, and P7.0 will
determine addressing of the relay card via the JP1 and JP2 jumper configurations. P4.0
is associated with the four jumpers near the center of the board, and P7.0 the four
jumpers near the board’s edge. For proper function, both hardware and software
addressing must match. The table below lists the specifications for the solid-state relay
card.

NOTE
Four of the digital I/O lines must be sacrificed to use the mechanical relay card.
