The modular PLC-Interface Ethernet Gateway remote relay system from Phoenix Contact with flexible channel assignment optimizes simple applications with up to 56 I/O channels. High flexibility and intuitive network integration are enabled by compatibility with common control software.
The new remote relay system allows flexible channel configuration with digital and analog inputs and outputs, as well as temperature and Ex modules. Their compact design makes the modules particularly suitable for simple applications with small to medium channel counts in distributed control cabinets. The remote relay system offers the possibility of optimizing distributed applications. Digital and analog signals are reliably recorded, and temperature and analog values are precisely processed with 10-bit resolution (value range 0 – 1,000).
An innovative network module with a high-performance chipset enables multi-protocol connectivity, including Profinet Class C and S2 redundancy. Integration into the control level is intuitive and time-saving thanks to compatibility with established control software. Firmware updates ensure continuous feature expansion and optimal performance. With up to 56 customizable channels, the solution can be tailored precisely to the specific application.
System compatibility with the PLC-Interface relay system allows for easy functional expansion in existing systems. This ecosystem provides a wide range of functions, ranging from simple coupling relays to relay modules with integrated circuit breakers. The flexibility and compatibility of the remote relay system supports a future-proof automation strategy for simple applications.
