contact 13 on the load side, the continuous plug-in

bridges, which can be cut to length as desired, or the 2-

position jumper plugs guarantee quick, economical and

fault-free wiring, whilst providing utmost clarity. This

makes complicated, time-consuming loop bridges a

thing of the past!

The PLC-O.. optical coupler series, that can be used

universally, consisting of pluggable miniature optical

couplers and the same 6.2 mm base terminal blocks as

in the PDT series, has now been included with spring

cage connections in the range. The wiring, diagonally

from above, is particularly convenient during assembly.

The cost-intensive wiring is reduced yet again when the

plug-in bridges are implemented. A side-effect is a cut

in the likelihood of faulty wiring and time-consuming

trouble-shooting.

The standard PLC-OSP series can be implemented

either as an input or output interface, thus simplifying

ordering, and saving costs for warehousing and service.

Since the unit is already completely equipped, there is

no additional work involved with inserting the optical

coupler. To allow even more flexibility, all individual

components (base terminal block, optical coupler or

relay) can also be ordered separately and combined

individually.

Input voltages of 24 V to 230 V

PLC-OSP... on the control side is, like the proven

screw clamp versions, available in all conventional

industrial voltages from 24 V to 230 V. A further

advantage is the ready-integrated input circuit. It

consists of a status display and polarity reversal

protection function, and guarantees that the operational

status is displayed clearly, also preventing destruction

of the optical electronics should the polarity be

accidentally reversed.

Efficient miniature optical couplers

Despite its small dimensions, the PLC miniature

optical coupler is unusually efficient, has the typical

sturdiness of optical couplers and is the instrument of

choice especially with high operating frequencies:

– Switching capacity of up to 24 V DC/2 A, depending

on the type,

– IP 67-protected fully encapsulated optical electronics,

– Input or power optical couplers can be supplied as

alternatives,

– Wear-resistant switching,

– Insensitive to vibration and shock.

The optical coupler is securely anchored by an

engagement lever. In the unlikely event of the optical

coupler needing to be repaired, it can be disengaged,

and – without disconnecting the wiring – replaced

quickly and economically.

Plug-in bridges save wiring

A big plus for cunning wiring professionals is the

convenient plug-in bridge system FBST. Whether there

is an A1/A2 ground on the control side, or supply at
