The IA-3126-2 is an indutrial intelligent 16-ch Relay Control Board, with 16-ch Digital Input and multi-drop operation
capability, in the original IA-3131 foot print.
The IA-3126-2 is an Industrial grade relay controller, easy operated, supported by a simple, yet, powerful command set.
Rich software support, including open source code samples and setting utility makes it fast and easy adaptable device.
The IA-3126S is an inductive load supporting version of the original IA-3126 Controller, that includ voltage suppressors
across its Relay contacts. This version is limited to 56VDC and 40VAC load voltage operation range.

Digital Input
The IA-3126 includes 16 relays . Each of them capable of handling up to 1 Amp on 24VDC and 0.5Amp on
120VAC.
Relays

The IA-3126 Relays controller includes 16 Wide-Range Digital Inputs that might be used as Dry Contact Inputs.
Two Jumpers, JP2and JP3, each controls input voltage range of correspondenly inputs 1-8 and 9-16 should be set
to one of the two options: +5VDC or Source voltage which connects to TB9.
Dry contact connection alows you to use GND connection (TB2 , TB4) as COMMON.
