The newly developed micro slot module platform affords more opportunities to bring about new and useful functions. Namely, to support specific capabilities aside from the prior micro slot modules designed to help signal transfer and breakout. Left-to-right input-to-output features for both control and signal transfer or routing, but now also new processes following the same type of transfer function.
This signal relay module is designed to support a contact closure source to allow a higher current contact path at the module’s output. When a short-circuit path is made at the Enable terminals of the module’s input connector, a relay closure event is triggered at the output. This event provides for a parallel bypass path across an attached load connected to the output connector. Or a series circuit path completion is made to allow a signal or voltage to become active at the output connector.
When the relay module is supplied with 5V; a green LED illuminates to give a user continuous visual Power status. A separate blue Activity LED indicates when the relay itself is enabled by the presence of a contact closure input. As a 5V source is applied to the micro slot module, a simple wire connection from Enable to Ground triggers the relay to complete the output connection path, which in turn illuminates the power Active LED.
