Finder Presents the New OPTA Expansion Modules

May 6, 2025

OPTA expands its application possibilities thanks to new expansion modules that are now available.

The OPTA PLR is a collaboration between Finder and Arduino Pro, producing a new level of technology, opening up multiple possibilities of use.

Expansion modules allow inputs and/or outputs to be added to different automation projects – with a maximum limit of five modules available for all OPTA versions (Lite, Plus, Advanced) – thus multiplying the inputs (up to 80 inputs for the digital version and 30 inputs for the analogue version) and outputs (up to 40 for the digital version and 30 for the analogue version).

Currently, the range includes the two digital expansion modules:

EMR digital expansions Type 8A.58.9.024.1600

OPTA
  • 16 digital/analogue inputs (0…10 V)
  • 8 EMR outputs 6 A
  • Rated voltage 12…24 V DC

Digital SSR expansions Type 8A.88.9.024.1600

  • 16 digital/analogue inputs (0…10 V)
  • 8 SSR outputs 3 A
  • Rated voltage 12…24 V DC

The analogue expansion module features:

Analogue expansions Type 8A.26.9.024.0600

  • 6 analogue inputs 0…10 V, 4…20 mA, PT 100/1000
  • 2 analogue outputs 0…10 V, 4…20 mA
  • 4 PWM outputs
  • Rated voltage 12…24 V DC

The connection between all the modules is via the AUX auxiliary port, with the possibility of realising different combinations, with a unique and unparalleled level of project customisation.

TDK: 24Vdc 20A DIN Rail Mount Buffer (Hold-up) Module Has a Narrow 49mm Width

TDK Corporation recently announced the introduction of the TDK-Lambda DBM20 DIN rail mount 24V 20A buffer module. The buffer module is ideal for providing short term hold-up or peak power for loads connected to a 24Vdc output AC-DC power supply. It can supply an additional 250ms hold-up at 448W output power, or 2s with a 2.5A load. The extended hold-up time allows equipment to safely shutdown and avoid data loss during AC power interruptions.
