    Introduction and Installation Introduction Overview The SeaPORT PLC-16 provides 8 Form C relays rated at 2A, making it suitable for latching power, data or other electronic signals for control applications. Eight optically isolated inputs are also provided to allow monitoring off board switch closures, relays or any other general purpose monitoring needs.
  • Page 5: Technical Description

    A and B. Port A is an input port interfaced to optically isolated inputs, while port B is the relay output port. The SeaPORT PLC-16 is a line-powered device requiring a USB port capable of sourcing 500 mA.

    A current path is required to ‘turn- on’ the sensor. The opto-isolator has two ‘back-to-back’ diodes internally. This allows AC or DC signals to be sensed, regardless of polarity. Sealevel Systems SeaPORT PLC-16 Page 3...

    Specifications Output Port (Relay) The SEAPORT PLC-16 provides 8 Form C (SPDT) Electro-mechanical relays. These relays have three connections; Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and a Common. The relays are all de-energized at power-on. Writing a logic value of one or zero will change the state. Refer to the Application Programmers Interface for more information.
