Reliance Electric 57C420 Output Module – Digital I/O Control | AutoMax DCS Platform
Engineering Background
The Reliance Electric 57C420 is a discrete output module engineered for the AutoMax Distributed Control System (DCS) platform — Reliance Electric’s flagship process-automation architecture widely deployed in metals, paper, plastics, and heavy-industry facilities throughout the 1980s–2000s. AutoMax systems remain operational in thousands of plants globally, making verified replacement modules like the 57C420 a critical MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations) procurement item.
Product Positioning
Konmask.com sources and supplies the 57C420 as a genuine surplus / refurbished unit targeting maintenance engineers, OEM integrators, and plant operations teams who require a drop-in replacement without system redesign. Each unit is inspected prior to dispatch and ships with full traceability documentation on request.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the AutoMax DCS architecture, the 57C420 occupies a dedicated output slot on the AutoMax I/O rack. The module receives command signals from the AutoMax controller backplane via the proprietary high-speed rack bus, converts them to discrete (on/off) output signals, and drives field devices such as solenoid valves, motor starters, contactors, and indicator lamps. The module’s output channels are individually addressable by the AutoMax application program, enabling precise sequencing and interlock logic without additional signal conditioning hardware.
