In interface applications between the PLC and

actuators, such as motors, contactors, or solenoid

valves, only an N/O contact is normally required. Here,

people turn directly to the PLC-RSP...ACT output

interface, specially optimized for these applications and

consisting of a 6.2 mm base terminal block and

pluggable miniature relay. In addition to the proven

screw clamp connection version, the actuator interface

is now available with spring cage connections. The

wiring , diagonally from above, is particularly convenient

during assembly. Alternatively, the actuator interface

can also be supplied with a miniature optical coupler.

No need for output terminal blocks

Unlike conventional coupling relays, all the actuator

connections, including the load return line (!), are

connected directly to the PLC actuator interface. PLC-

RSP...ACT can thus be used directly as an output

terminal strip with integrated interface function for the

outgoing actuator cables, without the need for additional

modular terminal blocks. (See also structural diagram in

catalog part 6, page 28.)

Assessment of savings:

– Elimination of the costs of two output terminal blocks

for switching and load return lines,

– Space savings of approx. 80%,

– Time saving approx. 60%,

– Reduction in wiring thanks to plug-in bridges.

Optimum use of plug-in bridges.

The actuator interface attains the maximum degree of

efficiency with the convenient FBST plug-in bridge

system. PLC-RSP...ACT makes effective use of the

bridging facilities for the A1/A2 connection on the coil

side, for the load supply at connection 13 on the contact

side, and for the load return line. Especially effective

here are the 500 mm long color-insulated continuous

bridges that can easily be cut to the required length and

inserted in the bridge shafts in a flash. No stripping, no

pressing on of ferrules, no connecting. This makes

complicated, time-consuming loop bridges a thing of the

past!

Assessment of savings:

– Reduction in wiring by eliminating the need for

modular terminal blocks and using all bridging

facilities: approx. 60%.

Further advantages:

PLC-RSP...ACT naturally offers the same benefits as

all other PLC series with relay:

– Available either as gold or power contact relay,

– Integrated input circuit,

– Switching capacity up to 250 V AC/6 A,

– The relay can be removed for replacement using the
