Relay Output
The relay outputs on block I/O modules are electro-mechanical outputs and
do not require specific compatibility with the load device as to current
sinking or sourcing.

The 16- and 32-point ac and dc block I/O modules are internally fused to
protect the module. No external power fusing is required. Outputs are not
fused. Fusing of outputs is recommended. If desired to fuse an output, you
must provide external fusing.
