1. Overview
The Y301-880 is the flagship model in the Y301 family. It combines eight opto-isolated digital inputs and eight high-power relay outputs in a 145 x 90 x 40 mm enclosure, delivering the highest Modbus RTU I/O density in the series for PLC expansion, building automation, and large-scale telemetry systems.
| Model | DI | DO | AI | Typical Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y301-880 | 8 | 8 (SPDT) | - | Multi-zone digital automation |
Product Highlights
- Highest I/O density in the Y301 series for digital-only control
- Independent indicators for all 16 channels plus system status
- Robust automation firmware with up to 16 local rules and output retention

5.2 Wiring Guidelines
- Use 20-16 AWG power wiring with a 2 A upstream fuse.
- For dry-contact DI, bridge
COM+to the targetDIthrough the external contact. - For wet-contact DI, connect the external 5-36 V reference to
COM-. - For relay outputs driving inductive loads, add an RC snubber for AC loads or a flyback diode for DC loads.
- For RS485, use shielded twisted pair, terminate both ends with 120 ohm resistors, and keep a common reference ground.
6. Mechanical and Environmental
