Hi guys, I'm looking for information on these lil bricks. I ran across a couple and a programmer and I've been tinkering with them. But I cannot locate any of the original tech info on them, user manual, etc. Anyone have some old stuff setting in the file cabinet?? Tjhanks, Jeff

I don't have a user's manual, but I do have a sales brochure. It claims 4 inputs, 4 isolated outputs rated at 10 amps each. Function set is NO and NC contacts, positive and negative triggered contacts, coils, , latch/unlatch coils, timers, and counters. There are 12 internal coils labeled A1 - A12. There are 16 timers labeled T1 - T16 and 16 counters labeled C1 - C16. There is no reference to a publication number for a user manual in the sales brochure. Its publication number is DET-014A 0294 BL. I also have a brochure on a variant of the Smart Relay called the GE-Link MC-SDS Motor control block. It is the Smart Relay with a built-in SDS bus interface. SDS bus was a variant of DeviceNet that Honeywell was promoting. At the time the product came out, GE and Honeywell/Micro Switch were involved in what proved to be a short-lived joint venture.
