OME-DB-24C-series

Supported Applications

The Omega OME-DB-24C series consists of panel-mount digital I/O boards designed for general-purpose input/output control applications. These daughter boards function as open-collector output modules within programmable relay systems, supporting configurations that include magnetic relays, solid-state relays (SSR), Photo-MOS relays, and isolated digital inputs.

Per the manufacturer's warnings, these products are not designed for use in patient-connected applications. The series is intended for industrial control environments where discrete signal switching or status monitoring is required via a host controller system.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The OME-DB-24C-series provides 24 channels of open-collector output capability in a panel-mount form factor. As daughter boards, they rely on the host chassis or programmable relay unit for power distribution and signal processing logic.

Specific electrical performance parameters such as voltage ratings, current limits per channel, response times, and ambient operating temperature ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available family manual documentation provided for this series. Engineers should consult specific model selection tables or host system specifications to determine exact load resistance, switching speeds, and environmental tolerances applicable to a given installation.

Key Performance Characteristics

• Channel Count: 24 channels of open-collector output.
• Mounting Style: Panel mount daughter board configuration.
• System Integration: Designed for use with Omega programmable relay systems and compatible I/O chassis.

Configuration Options

The series supports configurable connectivity options to interface with host controllers or external wiring. The OME-DB-- model numbering convention (e.g., OME-DB-16R, OME-DB-24P) indicates the availability of various channel counts and output types across the broader family.

Connectivity Options

The series accommodates multiple connection interfaces to suit different cabling requirements:

• Flat Cable Connectors: 20-pin or 50-pin flat connector options for ribbon cable interfacing.
• D-Sub Connectors: D-sub connector configurations available for standard industrial wiring.

Housing and Mounting

The OME-DB-24C-series is offered in panel-mount variants. Specific model suffixes, such as the DIN-rail compatible version (e.g., OME-DB-24C/DIN), indicate variations in mounting hardware or enclosure integration to fit standard industrial control panels.

Approvals and Certifications

The manufacturing process for this series adheres to quality management standards:

• Certified Standards: ISO 9001 Certified, ISO 9002 Certified.

Key Product Differences

The OME-DB-24C-series is distinguished within the Omega digital I/O family by its specific channel count and output type. While the broader product line includes models with magnetic relays (R), Photo-MOS outputs, or isolated inputs, the 24C designation specifically identifies a board configured for 24 open-collector channels.

Variations within this series primarily concern the physical interface and mounting method:

• Standard Panel Mount: The base OME-DB-24C model is designed for direct panel integration or insertion into a compatible chassis slot.
• DIN-Rail Compatible Variant: Models such as the OME-DB-24C/DIN offer alternative mounting configurations to facilitate installation in DIN-rail enclosures, providing flexibility in control cabinet layout.

The selection of connector type (flat cable vs. D-sub) and specific model suffixes allows engineers to match the board's physical interface with existing system wiring standards.
