Electrical

General

Property	Value	Units
Operating temperature	10-70	°C
Storage temperature	-30-90	°C
Humidity	0-95 non-condensing	%
Power dissipation	2-100¹	W

¹) Power dissipation is output current and input voltage related.

Power supply

Supply	Input voltage	Input current typ	Input current max
Logic power	24 VDC +/- 10%	0.1 - 0.4 A	0.5 A
Motor power	85 - 264 VAC 50/60 Hz	0 - 15 A¹	26 A¹
	84 - 380 VDC	0 - 15 A¹	26 A¹

¹) Estimating true current or power consumption based on this table may be difficult as current demand typically varies greatly and and almost completely depends on motor load conditions.
