1. Overview
Y301-880 is the flagship of the Y301 family, combining eight optically isolated digital inputs and eight high-power relay outputs in a 145 × 90 × 40 mm enclosure. It delivers maximum Modbus-RTU I/O density 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 |
Positioning Highlights
- Largest I/O count in the Y301 series for pure digital control
- Independent indicators for all 16 channels plus system status LEDs
- Robust automation firmware with 16 linkage rules and DO retention

5.2 Wiring Guidance
- Use 20–16 AWG power wiring with an upstream 2 A fuse.
- Dry DI: bridge COM+ to DI through contact closure; wet DI: external 5–36V referenced to COM-.
- DO: add RC snubbers (AC) or flyback diodes (DC) for inductive loads; keep loads within relay ratings.
- RS485: shielded twisted pair, 120 Ω termination at both bus ends with common reference ground.
