SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE
MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-290-121
Three sub-units of 16 bits are used to control the module’s relays as shown below. Enabling a particular bit closes
the C to A signal path of that relay.
40-290-121 (3 16xSPDT)
The 40-290-121 Module utilises 32 SPST relays, and 16 SPDT changeover relays. In the default state all signal
paths are open circuit for the SPST relays with all resistors linked in the chains, and between the C and B terminals
for the changeover relays. Energising any relay creates a signal path between the C and A terminals of that relay.
As the SPST relays are energised the corresponding resistor is short circuited. The relay module’s switching
architecture is shown in its default state in the diagram below:
