NEW Relays & Optocouplers - R600 Series

The new R600 line of relay and optocoupler discrete signal interfaces were developed with the end user in mind. The labor required to install, replace or trouble shoot signal interfaces has been greatly reduced. The revolutionary new design & style provides an attractive package with improved functionality. Comparable jumper bars, test switches and recessed LEDs provide a clean & safe environment.

A typical automation process may include a control system consisting of a computer, or a PLC linked to the process, with a maze of wires connected to various sensors, actuators and contactors. The R600 line was developed to streamline installations, reduce space, and improve safety by eliminating wiring and associated clutter. The R600 range of relays and optocouplers make it possible to optically couple various logic signals in a neat, compact, safe & efficient manner.

Key Features:

Relay range

• Input voltage: from 5 to 250 V AC/DC
• Voltage switching range: from 5 to 250 V AC/DC
• Current switching range: from 1 mA to 12 A
• Leakage current and over voltage protection
• Relay Coil Manual Override Switch

Optocoupler range

• Input voltage: from 5 to 250 V AC/DC
• Voltage switching range: from 5 to 58 V DC, from 20 to 400 V AC
• Current switching range: from 1 mA to 5 A

ABB is pleased to announce the new AMS 500 marking system. It is a rugged industrial design rated for years of reliable operation. Improved template system for all ABB terminal block marker cards. The AMS 500 is more durable, enables better accuracy and is less expensive to maintain than other marking systems. In addition to ABB terminal block marking, templates are available for other components.

• New durable ink dries in seconds, will not rub off.
• Data can be imported from CAD system or Excel Spreadsheet.
• Unique Pen Holding Station- Specially designed pen station uses a special built in sealer that will keep the pen from drying out.
• Plotter Pen Test - Prior to plotting, the pen draws a pattern on a test marker; this ensures the ink will flow properly every time.
• Template Recognition System – The AMS 500 automatically detects templates and software displays only associated markers.
• Purpose Built Plotter – The AMS 500 marking system was designed from the ground up specifically for ABB terminal block marker cards.
• Accessory Tools - New tools, like an engraving tool, will be available soon.
