Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 57C421B is the right module for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your drive model: Confirm you have a RELIANCE 57C-series compatible drive chassis
- Step 2 – Verify signal type: Ensure your tachometer outputs a pulse signal (not analog voltage/current)
- Step 3 – Check slot availability: Confirm an open input module slot in your drive rack
- Step 4 – Confirm firmware: Some drive revisions require specific module firmware; check OEM documentation
- Step 5 – Contact us: Send your drive nameplate data and we will confirm compatibility before you order
