TX-I/O™
Triac module TXM1.8T
Used for − Thermic and motor-driven actuators (AC 24 V)
− AC 24 V-controlled devices
• 8 triac outputs (AC 24 V), configured individually for:
– Permanent contact
– Three-point positioning output with internal stroke model
– Pulsewidth-modulated output (PWM)
• Noisefree switching of outputs
• Compact design as per DIN, requiring little space
• Separation into terminal base and electronics unit for optimal handling.
– Self-connecting bus for the easiest possible installation.
– Isolating terminal function for fast commissioning.
– Exchange of electronics unit within seconds without a need of rewiring,
at full functionality of the remaining I/O modules
• All terminals are connected directly to the modules, no additional terminal
strip for direct connection of field devices.
• Simple display concept
– Green LED per output, control action as per I/O function
– LEDs for fast fault diagnosis
• Double-sided labeling of all I/O points with label

Output status LEDs • The status LEDs indicate the status of the outputs.
Module status LED • The module status LED illuminates the transparent address key.
• The LED (green) indicates the status of the entire module.
• It can also be used for diagnostic purposes.
Address key • The module only works with the address key.
• The module address is mechanically encoded in the address key.
• Swing out the address key when exchanging the electronics unit. The key
remains in the terminal base.
Terminals • Two terminals per output are available to connect the load.
• The AC 24 V connection is common for all outputs, it comes from the V~ island
bus connector.
• The load is balanced to ground.
• Each output is protected individually against overload.
Module labeling
The electronics unit has a
removable, transparent lid (label 2
holder) allowing for insertion of the
label. 1
