Description
Key Technical Specifications
- Output & Redundancy Performance: The module is equipped with 16 guarded outputs grouped into two sets of eight. At 0 – 40°C, the load current can reach 1.0A, and at 60°C, it is 0.75A. It supports parallel connection with the same type of module for redundant configuration to achieve fault tolerance, ensuring the system can still operate stably when a single module malfunctions. Each output is equipped with a 2A, 250V fast – acting fuse, which can quickly protect the circuit when an overcurrent fault occurs. The on – state voltage drop of the module is no more than 2.0V, which minimizes energy loss during operation.
- Safety & Monitoring Capabilities: It has powerful line monitoring functions, which can timely detect open and short – circuit faults in field wiring. The front – panel LEDs can display multiple states such as module fault/working state, shutdown state, output state, and load/fuse fault of each output point, enabling maintenance personnel to grasp the module’s operation status in real – time. It has passed TÜV certification conforming to DIN V VDE 0801 with risk class 5, and also complies with UL 508 and CSA 22.2 No.142 – M 1981 standards, which can fully meet the safety requirements of high – risk industrial environments.
- Physical & Environmental Adaptability: The module has dimensions of 320×32×257mm and weighs 1.8kg. It can work normally in an environment with an operating temperature of 0 – 60°C and a storage temperature of – 40 – 85°C, and can adapt to a non – condensing humidity environment of 0 – 95%. In terms of anti – interference and anti – impact, it can resist 6kV electrostatic discharge, 10V/m radiated fields (27 – 500MHz), and also can withstand vibration of 10 – 55Hz and ±0.15mm as well as 15g, 11ms shock, which is suitable for harsh industrial sites.

Field Application & Problem Solved
- High – voltage Load Control in Chemical Plants: In chemical production, many 120VDC – powered valves and pumps are core equipment for material transportation and reaction control. The T7488 module can control these loads. Its open and short circuit detection function can promptly find wiring faults in the control circuits of valves and pumps. Once a fault is detected, the system can switch to a safe state in time to avoid dangerous accidents such as material leakage caused by equipment failure. Meanwhile, the parallel redundant configuration ensures that the load control will not be interrupted due to module failure, guaranteeing the continuity of chemical production.
- Oil Refining Equipment Safety Control: In oil refining workshops, there are a large number of high – risk operation links. The T7488 module can be used to control the 120VDC safety actuators in these links. Its hot – swap feature allows maintenance personnel to replace the faulty module without shutting down the entire oil refining system. This avoids huge economic losses caused by system shutdown for maintenance and also reduces the safety risks brought by long – term shutdown of key equipment in the oil refining process.

Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Redundant Configuration Matching: When adopting a parallel redundant configuration, it is necessary to ensure that the two T7488 modules are consistent in terms of firmware version and parameter settings. Inconsistent parameters may lead to conflicts in output signals. After configuration, a fault simulation test should be carried out to confirm that the system can smoothly switch to the standby module when one module fails.
- Fuse Replacement Attention: The module’s fuses are accessible from the front panel. When replacing a fuse, it is necessary to use the specified Littelfuse 322 – 002 fast – acting fuse. Do not use fuses of other models or specifications, otherwise, it may fail to protect the circuit or even damage the module and load equipment.
- Wiring and Isolation Protection: Although the module has 2500V isolation performance, during wiring, the field lines and logic lines should be laid separately. Keep them away from high – voltage cables and strong electromagnetic interference sources to prevent the isolation effect from being affected and avoid false alarms or output errors of the module due to interference. When performing hot replacement, strictly follow the operating procedures to prevent short circuits or electrical shocks caused by incorrect operations.
