Product Description:

The RECO RMA12.2-32-DC024-050 is an output module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RECO Drive Modules series. Installed in a drive rack, it converts low-level controller signals into field-ready switching commands for actuators and indicators used in industrial automation cells. By integrating solid-state drivers and onboard protection, the module supports reliable discrete control where fast response and electrical isolation from the logic bus are required.

This unit provides 32 discrete channels arranged in four electrically separated banks. Each channel is rated to deliver up to 0.5 A per output at a nominal load supply of 24 VDC, allowing direct actuation of small solenoids or relay coils without external amplifiers. The outputs are based on a FET output switch topology, so heat dissipation and switching speeds are superior to electromechanical relays. Channel groups share common returns, yet the presence of 4 isolated groups helps prevent crosstalk between sections fed by different machine zones. Active-high drive logic, designated “Active 1,” aligns with typical PLC conventions, while internal current limiting, voltage monitoring, and short-circuit detection protect both the module and connected loads during fault events. A depth of 81 mm, a width of 41.3 mm, and eight outputs per group support dense cabinet layouts without sacrificing wiring clarity.

The backplane interface transfers output images in a data packet width of 2 Words / 32 Bits, allowing deterministic updating of the module states. Steady-state losses are limited to 2.5 W, so airflow in most control enclosures is sufficient without auxiliary cooling. Overall height is kept to 192 mm, and a mass of only 300 g eases installation on light DIN rails. Internal voltage monitoring works alongside the built-in current limit to maintain channel integrity, and the compact form factor leaves additional rail space for upstream logic or communication modules.
