Product Description:

The leading supplier B & R Automation created this new variant 8ECH0010.1312A-0 and it emerges from CM16 Motor Cables range. As a versatile industrial controller, this model manages discrete I/O reliably. With an output switching current of 2 A per channel supports robust load switching and ensures reliable actuation of connected devices. 16 digital inputs maintains extensive signal acquisition which enables fine-grained monitoring of field sensors. Also, 16 digital outputs manages broad control coverage which simplifies integration of multiple end devices.

A relay output type for this component offers galvanic isolation to protect sensitive electronics from back‑EMF. An input signal voltage of 24 V DC matches common control voltages for reducing the need for level conversion. The operating temperature ranging from -20°C to +60°C allows operation under varied environmental settings which maintains functional stability. The option of DIN Rail mounting secures the module firmly within control cabinets and also streamlines installation workflows. Ethernet and RS232 communication interfaces provide versatile connectivity which supports integration with diverse automation networks. An enclosure protection rating of IP20 protects against solid objects larger than 12 mm which safeguard internal components. The module’s physical dimensions measure 100 mm × 120 mm × 60 mm, optimizing panel usage which allows denser equipment layouts.

This cable unit 8ECH0010.1312A-0 weighs 0.6 kg which eases product’s positioning during system assembly. A type designation as Industrial Controller defines its role in automation architectures which clarifies system topology. Offering a power supply requirement of 24 V DC aligns with standard control power buses; thereby it reduces auxiliary power complexity. Mean time between failures of 100,000 hours provides a reliability baseline which guides maintenance scheduling. The device features a fast Ethernet compatibility at 100 Mbit/s ensures rapid data exchange which supports high‑speed control loops.
