PLC-RSP-230UC/21-21AU/RWF PLC Interface With 2 PDT Miniature Relays for Railway Applications INTERFACE Data Sheet 103045_00_en (c) PHOENIX CONTACT - 09/2006 Description The PLC-RSP-230UC/21-21AU/RWF relay module is designed for input voltages with a nominal frequency of 16 2/3 Hz and is therefore ideal for railway applications. It consists of a 14 mm wide basic terminal block with springcage connection and a plug-in multi-layer contact relay with two PDT contacts for small switching loads. Rugged Miniature Relay The heart of the PDT relay series is a rugged miniature relay from the latest generation, equipped with features that are lacking in most standard plug-in relays: - Operational safety with IP67-protected mechanics - Environmentally friendly, cadmium-free power contact material for loads up to 250 V AC/2 x 6 A - Hard gold-plated contacts for small loads - 4 kVrms electrical isolation between coil and contact Plug-In Bridges Save Wiring The FBST plug-in bridge system offers a big advantage: whether an A1 or A2 connection on the coil side or grouped power supply at connections 11 and 21 on the contact side, with just one "click" the continuous bridge, which can be cut to length, or the 2-pos. bridge connector ensure quick costeffective, and error-free wiring, while providing maximum clarity. This makes complicated, time-consuming loop bridges a thing of the past. Additional PLC Advantages The module naturally features the usual advantages of the PLC range: - Integrated input circuit - Relay can be quickly replaced using an engagement lever - Safe isolation between input and output - Marking labels from the standard modular terminal block range - Inexpensive Make sure you always use the latest documentation.

In subsequent operation, the maximum values given in brackets will apply. This can then result in reduced service life, similar to dedicated power contacts. 2 The PLC-ATP insulating plate must be installed for voltages greater than 250 V (L1, L2, L3) between the same terminal points on adjacent modules (see "Accessories").
