ABB RB121G Interface Relay, 24V / 24V dc 24V dc, 1-pole changeover DIN-rail

In today's industrial automation systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) play a central role. They connect measuring instruments and actuators that are linked via conventional wiring to the process. However, a PLC is not completely decoupled from the industrial environment, meaning that voltage spikes and transient currents can indeed affect its functionality. Therefore, to adjust the applied voltage and/or current, and to provide the PLC with suitable galvanic isolation, the appropriate interface should be installed for each input/output point, which regulates both the voltage and current levels while offering isolation protection. Such interfaces are provided by ABB's relay and optocoupler series. They allow for a wide range of voltage adjustment (from 5 to 250 V) and current adjustment (from 0.01 to 8 A), as well as high isolation between input and output of 2 to 4 kV. For high switching frequencies with low switching loads, transistor, MOSFET, or triac outputs can be selected as options.
