PX-272-2 digital output module arrangement: mounting, interface and service-space coordination.

## In plain English

### What it does

PX-272-2 is the drawing identifier for digital output module in AutomationDirect's Protos X Field I/O collection. A digital output module sends discrete commands to connected control equipment. An output module is different from the power switching apparatus that may ultimately operate a motor.

### A simple example

For example, in a microgrid installation with a conveyor panel sending commands to interposing relays, use the PX-272-2 reference to coordinate output-terminal access, conductor routing and module replacement. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Other PLC Products/Protos X IO/PX-272-2.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.

### Before using this reference

- Match PX-272-2, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the connected control circuits and any interposing devices.
- Coordinate output-terminal access, conductor routing and module replacement with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

### Terms

- Drawing identity: The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface: The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space: The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.

## How to read it

- Keep output-terminal access, conductor routing and module replacement visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named PX-272-2 drawing and its digital output module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.

## Information to show or reference

- Match PX-272-2, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the connected control circuits and any interposing devices.
- Coordinate output-terminal access, conductor routing and module replacement with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

## Important distinction

This reference concerns the named PX-272-2 drawing and its digital output module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
