2. Product information for the
c Mark
The requirements of the EMC guideline, 89/336/EEC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and the harmonized
European standards listed with this are fulfilled by all the
articles bearing the CE mark.
The EC declarations of conformity are kept available for the
authorities responsible in acc. with the above-mentioned
guideline, article 10. Address, see above.
When operating relay modules, the operator must see that
the requirements pertaining to emitted interference for
electrical and electronic operating equipment (EN 50081)
are observed on the contact side and must perform any
necessary measures.
Relay modules with IP 20 protection or less must be
installed in rooms for electrical operating apparatus or in
enclosed housings (e.g. switch cabinets).
When working on the switch cabinets, the operating
personnel must first discharge electrostatic current before
opening switch boxes or switch cabinets and before
touching the modules (to protect the modules against
electrostatic discharge).

mains voltage is applied! Danger to life!

3.1. Contact protection circuit
In order to achieve as long an electrical service life as
possible for the relay and also avoid the coupling of
inductive voltage in other components/system parts, a
contact protection circuit (e.g. damping diode, varistor,
RC element etc.) should be provided on the consumer in
the case of a high load and particularly in the case of a
share of inductive load. Detailed information is to be found
in the PHOENIX CONTACT catalog part 6 (INTERFACE I).
3.2. Modules with spring cage connection
Push the screwdriver (blade: 0.6 x 3.5 mm; in
acc. with ISO 2380-1) at an angle of approx.
45 ° in the direction of the arrow into the
aperture (see fig. 2). The spring cage opens
and the stripped conductor end can be
inserted at an angle
from above into the
conductor connec-
tion cone. When the
screwdriver is
removed, the
conductor is
automatically
clamped.
3.3. Fixing on the mounting rail
An end bracket must be positioned at the start and end of
every terminal strip. Wherever it is subject to vibration, we
recommend E/UK1 (Order No. 12 01 41 3).
When subject to vibration, the mounting rail must be fixed at
intervals of 10 cm.
3.4. Bridging voltage potentials
Identical voltage potentials of adja-
cent terminals (A1, A2, 13, BB) are
bridged using plug-in bridges. The
bridges must snap in completely.
To remove the bridges, see fig.3.
• FBST 6… 2-pos. plug-in bridges
(I
max
≤ 6 A)
• 500 mm long FBST 500.. continuous plug-in bridges (I
max
≤ 32 A).
The bridges can be cut to length using EKS1, the single-
handed cable cutter (Order No. 12 01 83 7). Minimum length
that can be cut is 30 mm.
Currents ≤ 6A can be fed directly into the corresponding
terminal points.
In the case of higher currents, PLC-ESK GY input terminal
blocks (Order No. 29 66 50 8) are to be used.
3.5. Separating plate PLC-ATP BK
The separating plate (Order No. 29
66 84 1, fig. 4) must be inserted in
the following cases
always at the beginning and
end of each PLC terminal strip
for voltages greater than 250 V
between identical terminals of
adjacent modules (L1,L2,L3)
for reliable isolation between
adjacent modules
to isolate adjacent bridges of different potentials
• for visual separation of functional groups
Continuous bridging is made possible by the perforated
break-out points.

1. Note on designation and order no.
PLC-R…, an interface terminal block equipped with a relay,
consists of:
a) PLC-B…, the unequipped base terminal block, and
b) REL-MR…, the pluggable miniature relay (see fig.1).
The designation and order no. printed on the packaging of the
interface terminal block equipped with relay, PLC-R…, is
therefore not identical to that on base terminal block PLC-B…
and pluggable miniature relay REL-MR…
• Identical potentials of adjacent connections (A2, 13, BB)
are bridged with FBST plug-in bridges.
Feeding the PLC ground on the input side into "A2", and
voltage source on the output side into "13" and "BB" is
only necessary once.
• No extra external output terminal block is required for the
load return line. It is connected to terminal point "BB".
4.4. PLC-R…SEN sensor series for input signals
Example: N/O contact (fig. 7)
• Identical potentials of adjacent connections (A2, 13, BB)
are bridged with FBST plug-in bridges.
Feeding the PLC supply on the output side into "13" and
the switch/initiator supply on the input side into "A2" and
"BB" is only necessary once.
• No extra external terminal block is required for supplying
the switches. It is connected to terminal point "BB".
