Yokogawa F3YD08-6A Transistor Output Module 8-Point

Yokogawa F3YD08-6A Transistor Output Module for FA-M3 PLC Systems

Product Introduction

The F3YD08-6A belongs to the Yokogawa FA-M3 and FA-M3V programmable logic controller families. This module provides a sink-type transistor output interface for switching DC field devices. Specifically, it offers eight output points that share one common terminal, which reduces wiring effort in panels with grouped DC loads. Consequently, the unit suits applications such as relay replacement, solenoid driving, and indicator lamp control.

Furthermore, the F3YD08-6A supports a rated load voltage of 12-24V DC. Each point carries a maximum load current of 1A, while the shared common line handles up to 4A in total. The sink output connects the load to the negative supply rail, which matches common DC control conventions. Moreover, the response time is 1ms maximum for both OFF to ON and ON to OFF transitions, enabling precise high-speed switching.

Additionally, the module uses photocoupler isolation to protect the logic side from field noise. An active clamp circuit provides surge protection, which extends service life when driving inductive loads. Besides, current consumption is only 60mA at 5V DC, and the external power supply needs just 10mA at 12-24V DC. The CPU error output supports HOLD or RESET behavior, and users can configure it per CPU type.

Technical Specifications

The F3YD08-6A delivers eight transistor output points with all points sharing one common. First, the rated load voltage covers 12-24V DC, and the output type is sink contact. The maximum load current is 1A per point and 4A per common. In addition, the ON voltage is 0.5V DC maximum, and the off-time leakage current is 0.1mA maximum.

Moreover, the response time is 1ms maximum in both directions. The isolation method uses photocouplers, and surge protection relies on an active clamp. Specifically, current consumption is 60mA at 5V DC, and the external supply draws about 10mA. Finally, the external connection uses a 10-point terminal block with M3.5 screws.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The F3YD08-6A weighs approximately 130g and connects through a 10-point terminal block with M3.5 screws. The operating temperature range is 0 to 55°C, while storage covers -20°C to 75°C. Besides, both operating and storage humidity range from 10 to 90% RH, non-condensing. The surrounding atmosphere must be free of corrosive gases, flammable gases, or heavy dust. These ratings support stable operation in standard industrial cabinets.

Installation Guide

Installing the F3YD08-6A begins with selecting a panel location that meets the temperature and humidity limits. Next, mount the module in the FA-M3 base unit and confirm it seats firmly on the backplane. After that, wire the DC loads and external supply to the 10-point terminal block using M3.5 screws. Additionally, keep the total common-line current below 4A and separate power wiring from signal cables. Finally, verify the CPU error output setting before applying power.
