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
  • Easy Installation: Push-in wiring and DIN rail mounting save time and cabinet space
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Wide temperature range and high insulation strength resist harsh environments

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
