Monitor - Relay Output

1. Overview

A Monitor - Relay Output device is an industrial automation component that combines signal monitoring capabilities with relay-based output control. It detects electrical or process signals (e.g., voltage, current, temperature) and triggers relay actions to manage machinery, safety systems, or process equipment. These devices are critical in modern industrial systems for ensuring precise control, fault detection, and automated decision-making in complex workflows.
