Data Sheet

Description

PLC-ESK Power Terminal Block

The 9 mm PLC-ESK GY power terminal block is the same

shape as the PLC INTERFACE modules. It is used to

supply the bridging potentials. Its nominal current is 32 A.

For currents

≤ 6 A, the power can be supplied directly at the

connection terminal blocks of one of the connected PLC

INTERFACE modules.

FBST Plug-In Bridges

The colored, insulated FBST plug-in bridges reduce wiring

time for the PLC INTERFACE modules by up to 70% in

comparison with conventionally wired relay modules. 2-pos.

FBST 6 single plug-in bridges are ideal for bridging a

smaller number of modules and total currents

≤ 6 A. For a

circuit supplied from both sides, they offer the advantage

that the circuit can be opened at any point, while allowing all

the other modules to continue being supplied at the same

time.

If a PLC-ATP insulating plate is to be bypassed with single

plug-in bridges, the FBST 8 2-pos. plug-in bridge must be

used.

The FBST 14 2-pos. plug-in bridge connects adjacent

connections on a 14 mm PLC INTERFACE module. In this

way, contacts can be connected in series or in parallel

without additional wiring.

500 mm long FBST 500 continuous plug-in bridges can be

used to bridge up to 80 modules quickly and easily at a time.

PLC-ATP Insulating Plate

The PLC-ATP insulating plate should always be installed at

the start and end of every terminal strip.

In addition to the visual separation of function blocks, it is

also necessary in some cases to install the insulating plate

between adjacent PLC INTERFACE modules, e.g., when

three phases (L1, L2, L3) are used on the contact side of the

PLC INTERFACE modules.

PLC-ATP has prescored break-out points at the bridging

positions, so that individual bridges can be passed through

if necessary.

PLC-BP Feed-Through Bridge

Instead of a relay or solid-state relay, the PLC-BP (A1-14)

passive feed-through bridge can be inserted in the basic

terminal block of the PLC INTERFACE series. This enables

a passive connection to be established between terminal

points A1 and 14.

PLC-V8 Adapter

The PLC-V8 adapter can be used to connect both 6.2 mm

and 14 mm PLC INTERFACE modules quickly and easily to

the VARIOFACE system cabling (see INTERFACE

catalog).
