Application Scenarios & Recommended Models
1. Safety-Critical Circuits
- Requirement: Forced-guided contacts, fail-safe protection
- Recommended Model: 2910537 (PLC-RPT-24DC/2X21/FG)
- Key Reason: FG contacts prevent contact welding, compliant with EN 61810-3 for safety loops (emergency stops, safety doors)
2. High-Power Load Control (≤10A)
- Requirement: High current capacity, optional manual operation
- Recommended Models: 2900291 (standard HC), 2910530 (HC+MS)
- Key Reason: AgSnO HC contacts handle 10A loads (solenoid valves, small motors); MS enables on-site debugging without power
3. Low-Level/Sensitive Signal Switching
- Requirement: Gold-plated contacts, anti-oxidation
- Recommended Models: 2900306 (21AU), 2910524 (21-21AU/MS)
- Key Reason: Gold-plated AU contacts reduce contact resistance, ideal for precision sensors or measuring equipment
4. Hazardous Area Applications
- Requirement: Explosion-proof design
- Recommended Model: 2909514 (PLC-RPT-24DC/21-21/EX)
- Key Reason: EX certification ensures safe operation in hazardous zones (e.g., chemical plants, oil refineries)
5. On-Site Debugging & Maintenance
- Requirement: Manual operation function
- Recommended Models: 2909667 (21/MS), 2910519 (21-21/MS)
- Key Reason: MS button allows contact activation without PLC signals, simplifying testing and troubleshooting
6. IC-Triggered or Sensor-Compatiable Loads
- Requirement: IC integration or sensor signal adaptation
- Recommended Models: 1078683 (1ICT/ACT), 2909678 (1AU/MS/SEN)
- Key Reason: ICT/ACT functions match PLC IC outputs; SEN variant is optimized for sensor signal switching
Core Advantages
- 24DC Dedicated: Optimized for 24V DC industrial power systems, stable and reliable
- Diverse Contact Options: Standard/HC/AU contacts cover high-power, low-level, and precision applications
- Functional Richness: Supports forced-guided safety, manual operation, and explosion-proof needs

Installation & Usage Notes
- Voltage Matching: Ensure supply voltage is 24V DC (20.9V~33.6V); avoid reverse polarity (built-in protection)
- Load Matching: Select contact type based on load (HC for >6A; AU for <50mA low-level signals)
- MS Function Use: Use manual operation (MS) only for debugging; avoid long-term manual activation
- Safety Wiring: For FG models (2910537), follow safety circuit design guidelines (separate safety/control wiring)
- EX Model Installation: Deploy 2909514 in compliance with ATEX/IECEx standards (proper grounding, zone restrictions)
- Wiring Care: Strip wires to 10mm, ensure full insertion into push-in terminals; use shielded cables for EMI-prone environments
