### 4. Functionality
Operating Principle:
Each relay channel acts as an electrically isolated switch controlled by the internal microprocessor. When a digital “ON” command is received via RS‑485, the corresponding relay coil energizes, closing the normally‑open contact and completing the external circuit. When “OFF,” the contact opens, interrupting the load.
Use Cases / Applications:
- Remote control of solenoids, lamps, alarms, and contactors
- Switching of low‑power AC/DC loads in process automation
- Integration with PLCs, SCADA, or PC‑based control systems
- Laboratory and test‑stand signal routing
- Building automation and energy‑management systems
Compatibility:
Fully compatible with other NuDAM‑6000 modules (analog I/O, digital I/O, counter/frequency, communication converters). Controlled via RS‑485 from a host PC, PLC, or embedded controller using ASCII commands or the NuDAM Administration Utility.
