The Phoenix Contact PLC-V8C/SC-24DC/SAM is a standalone PLC logic module designed for versatile control applications. This first-generation controller features 16 inputs and outputs, with eight digital terminals to simplify wiring. It includes a real-time clock for precise timing tasks and uses screw terminals for reliable 24 VDC power connections. The unit is rated for 50 V and offers robust surge protection up to 0.8 kV on RTD inputs, ensuring durability in demanding environments. It also provides a 24-hour buffer period to maintain data integrity during power interruptions. With a maximum current draw of 120 mA and LED indicators for status monitoring, this module delivers clear operational feedback. Distributed by BSP Automation, the PLC-V8C/SC-24DC/SAM is a reliable choice for straightforward automation needs, though it has since been succeeded by the SAM2-Gen 2 model.
