FAQ

1. What external supply for IC200MDL742?
24 VDC nominal, 18‑30 VDC range. Must handle total load current for both groups.

2. How does the overcurrent protection work?
Module trips at ~1.6 A per point. Amber LED indicates fault. Output recovers automatically after overload clears.

3. Can I mix loads on different groups?
Yes, groups are isolated. You can use different supply voltages for each group if within 18‑30 VDC range.
