8 channel Form C digital output

Introduction
The DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H are digital output 8
channel I/O modules.
The digital outputs support digital Form C point
types. The Form C relays are designed for direct
load applications.
Function
Modular and scalable system
The modules are part of a modular system that
delivers power and communications on a common
bus. Connecting modules is a one-step process:
just slide the modules together using the built-in
connectors.
Patented two-piece design
Each module can be separated from its terminal
base to allow the site to be wired prior to the
installation of the electronics. The patented locking
mechanism serves as handles for removing the
module from its base. All critical components have
a protective cover that permits convection cooling
to occur.

Hot-connect and Hot-swap
Because critical applications require 24-hour
operation, Schneider Electric designed the I/O
modules for hot-connection of terminal bases and
hot-swapping of the modules to their bases. This
design ensures continuous power and
communication during service operations.

Auto-addressing
The auto-addressing feature eliminates the need for
setting DIP switches or pressing commission
buttons. Each module automatically knows its order
in the chain and assigns itself accordingly –
Accommodates multiple row panel installations
The SmartStruxure devices use built-in connectors
for single row connectivity, side by side. If a panel
size requires multiple rows, extension cords are
available.
