Dear all,
which of the KC868-Series devices is capable of:
a) being directly powered with 24V DC
b) giving +24V as output
c) taking +24V as input
I‘m a little confused… I need only 3 inputs and 3 outputs.

you can use KC868-A16, KC868-E16S(replace with DC 24v relay), KC868-E16T(replace with DC 24v relay) now.
another way, you can wait for some time, we are designing new version of KC868-A4S, that is 4 inputs and 4 outputs, can use for 24v.

When will the KC868-A4S be available?
Also… please confirm that the INPUT of KC868-A16 can handle 24V directly. (Output no problem)

Also… please confirm that the INPUT of KC868-A16 can handle 24V directly. (Output no problem) ----> yes, no problem. INPUT has optocoupler isolation circuit on PCB.

Okay, thanks. So, I understand that for the INPUTS and OUTPUTS of both the A16 and new A4S direct connection of 24V will be okay.
Second question... can the A16 and A4S also be powered directly by 24V or does it have to be 12V?

Nice! Can I pre-order the A4S already? Also, so I can start programming... do you have details about the PIN assignment (relays, inputs)...?

Thanks!
Hey where will you sell the board when ready? (Aliexpress?)
Is it possible for the board to provide 5V (for a Nextion display)?
