Schneider ABE7R16S210 Electromechanical Output Relay Sub-Base for Modicon ABE7

Product Overview

When your automation system demands dependable switching for multiple outputs, the Schneider ABE7R16S210 electromechanical output relay sub-base delivers consistent performance. Part of the Modicon ABE7 range, this sub-base provides 16 channels of relay output, each capable of handling up to 5 A for preactuator ends. Designed for maintenance engineers, it simplifies wiring and replacement, reducing downtime in critical processes.

Technical Specifications

The ABE7R16S210 operates with a rated supply voltage of 24 V DC for the PLC end. It features a maximum current per output common of 10 A and a current per channel of 5 A. The relay contacts are 1 NO (normally open) for preactuator ends, with a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 30 V DC, compliant with IEC 60947-5-1. Switching frequency is up to 10 Hz under no load and 0.5 Hz at rated current. The sub-base offers electrical durability of 500,000 cycles at various loads and mechanical durability of 20,000,000 cycles. It measures 206 mm in width and weighs 0.405 kg.

Industry Applications

This relay sub-base is ideal for discrete manufacturing, packaging lines, and material handling systems where multiple output channels must be controlled reliably. The 16 channels allow direct connection to actuators, solenoids, and contactors. With a minimum switching current of 10 mA at ≥5 V, it also suits low-power signal switching in mixed automation environments.

Installation & Setup

Mounting the ABE7R16S210 is straightforward using clips for 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or screws for solid plates. The removable terminal block simplifies wiring and replacement. Tighten connections to 0.6 N·m using a flat screwdriver (Ø 3.5 mm). Ensure the ambient temperature stays between -5 °C and 60 °C during operation. The IP2X protection level guards against accidental contact with live parts.

Maintenance & Reliability

For long service life, inspect the relay contacts periodically for wear, especially in high-cycle applications. The sub-base is rated for up to 20 million mechanical cycles, but electrical load conditions affect contact life. Operate within the specified switching frequency and voltage limits to maximize reliability. The unit's protective treatment (TC) and resistance to incandescent wire (750 °C) enhance safety in industrial environments.

Buying Guide

Before purchasing, verify that your system requires a 24 V DC PLC-side supply and that the output configuration (16 channels, 1 NO per channel) matches your load requirements.
