Schneider ABE7R16S210 Electromechanical Output Relay Sub-Base, 16 Channels

Product Overview

The Schneider ABE7R16S210 is an electromechanical output relay sub-base from the Modicon ABE7 range. It provides 16 channels of relay output for preactuator end applications, with a rated supply voltage of 24 V DC for the PLC end. Each channel features 2 terminals, and the sub-base uses volt-free polarity distribution for flexible wiring.

Technical Specifications

The ABE7R16S210 delivers a maximum current per output common of 10 A and 5 A per channel at the preactuator end. Its minimum switching current is 10 mA at >= 5 V, with a drop-out voltage of 2.4 V at 20 °C (PLC end). Switching frequency is <= 0.5 Hz at rated current and <= 10 Hz under no load. The relay contacts are 1 NO (normally open) for the preactuator end, with a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC 50/60 Hz and 30 V DC, conforming to IEC 60947-5-1. Electrical durability reaches 500,000 cycles under various load conditions, and mechanical durability is 20,000,000 cycles.

Industry Applications

This relay sub-base is ideal for discrete automation tasks such as controlling solenoids, contactors, and indicator lights in manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, and material handling systems. Its 16-channel density suits applications requiring multiple output points in a compact footprint.

Installation & Setup

Mount the ABE7R16S210 on a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail using the integrated clips, or on a solid plate with a fixing kit (screws). The removable terminal block simplifies wiring and maintenance. Tighten terminals to 0.6 N·m using a flat Ø 3.5 mm screwdriver. Ensure ambient operating temperature stays between -5 and 60 °C.

Maintenance & Reliability

With an electrical reliability of 1e-8 and IP2X degree of protection, the ABE7R16S210 offers dependable performance in industrial environments. Periodic inspection of relay operation and terminal tightness is recommended to maintain long service life.

Compatibility & Integration

Part of the Modicon ABE7 family, this sub-base integrates with Schneider PLC systems. It carries certifications including GL, CSA, DNV, UL, and EAC, ensuring broad acceptance in global automation projects.
