FAQ
Q Mechanical relay or SSR?
A
Mechanical: low cost, good isolation, high currents (30+ A), 100k-1M switching cycles. SSR: no mechanical wear, 10M+ life, fast, zero-crossing switching, needs cooling. Frequent + fast → SSR; occasional → mechanical.
Q Safety relay selection?
A
By PL/SIL (Pilz PNOZ X, Schmersal SRB, Siemens 3SK); 1-4 input channels; 2-4 safety output contacts; with reset/manual/auto monitoring.
Q Why Phoenix PLC-RSC for PLC interface?
A
Slim 6.2 mm for dense wiring; pluggable for maintenance; LED status; universal 24 VDC input compatible with standard PLC outputs.
