PLC-RSC-120UC/21/C1D2 - Relay Module
PLC-INTERFACE, consisting of DIN rail-mountable basic terminal block with screw connection and plug-in miniature relay with power contact, 1 changeover contact, input voltage: 120 V AC/110 V DC, UL/cUL: approved for use in Ex Zone Class I, Div. 2
PLC-RSC
The Phoenix Contact PLC-RSC Series is part of the PLC-INTERFACE family, offering compact relay modules designed for efficient signal isolation and amplification in industrial automation systems. These modules are engineered for DIN rail mounting and feature plug-in miniature relays with power contacts, ensuring reliable performance in various control applications.
Key Features:
- ✅ Compact Design: With a slim 6.2 mm width, the PLC-RSC modules save space in control cabinets, allowing for high-density installations.
- ✅ Versatile Contact Configurations: Available with different contact types, including single changeover (SPDT) and double changeover (DPDT) contacts, to suit diverse application needs.
- ✅ Wide Input Voltage Range: Models support various input voltages, such as 24 V DC, 230 V AC, and 220 V DC, providing flexibility for integration into different control systems.
- ✅ High Switching Capacity: Designed to handle currents up to 6 A, these modules are suitable for switching both resistive and inductive loads.
- ✅ Integrated Protective Features: Equipped with reverse polarity protection and freewheeling diodes, the PLC-RSC modules ensure safe and reliable operation.
- ✅ Manual Operation Option: Certain models include a manual operation lever, facilitating easy testing and maintenance without the need for external actuation.
