B&R 7DO138.70 Digital Output Module – Stable 24 VDC Output Control for Machine and Line Automation

• 24 VDC digital outputs – Suitable for driving standard machine actuators and signal devices.

• 8-channel form factor – A balanced density that fits neatly into existing B&R racks in many cases.

• Status LEDs per channel – Quick visual diagnostics for commissioning and fault chasing on the floor.

• Backplane-powered – Clean integration with the B&R rack power and system bus, no extra PSU wiring to the module face.

• Field wiring friendly – Front-access terminals keep installation tidy and maintenance straightforward.

• Noise-robust design – Typically reliable in cabinets with mixed inductive loads and fast switching.

The 7DO138.70 suits discrete manufacturing lines where reliable 24 VDC switching matters: packaging and labeling machines, conveying and material handling, small assembly cells, printing and converting, and light process skids. One thing I appreciate is how it slots into existing B&R racks during incremental expansions—say you’re adding vision-triggered reject gates or a few extra outputs for stack lights—without disturbing the main controller.

Feedback we often hear: “We swapped in the 7DO138.70 to drive three new pneumatic valves and two signal lamps; commissioning took less than an hour because the diagnostics made it obvious which terminals were live.” It seems to be a practical choice for maintenance teams who prefer no‑nonsense I/O.

• Compatibility – Works within the B&R rack ecosystem, so wiring and addressing are straightforward.

• Reliability – Solid output behavior with clear status LEDs helps reduce troubleshooting time.

• Cost control – Add only the channels you need instead of overhauling the PLC or remote I/O node.

• Support – We help verify part fit within your rack and provide handling guidance to minimize downtime.

• Cabinet environment – Keep within typical 0…55 °C; ensure ventilation and separation from high-heat components.

• Wiring – Use properly sized conductors for 24 VDC outputs; ferrules help with vibration; separate inductive load wiring from low-level signals.

• Protection – Add flyback diodes or RC snubbers to inductive loads where required to extend output lifespan.

• Power quality – Stable 24 VDC supply and adequate backplane power budget are essential, especially when multiple outputs switch simultaneously.

• Routine checks – Inspect terminals for looseness, verify LED status during maintenance rounds, and keep the cabinet dust‑free.

• Software – Validate output mapping in the PLC project before energizing; a quick manual jog test typically saves time on site.

• Certifications: CE; UL recognition is common for B&R I/O; RoHS compliant in most cases.

• Manufacturer warranty support complemented by our 365‑day warranty coverage.

• B&R rack/backplane carrier compatible with the 7DO form factor for cabinet/DIN‑rail mounting.

• Removable terminal set for fast field wiring and easier module swaps.

• 24 VDC PSU with sufficient headroom for simultaneous output switching and inrush on inductive loads.

• Associated digital input module (for feedback signals) and the main B&R CPU or communication head for your node.
