500 mm long FBST 500 continuous plug-in bridges can be
used to bridge up to 80 modules quickly and easily at a time.
Description
PLC-ESK Power Terminal Block
PLC-ATP Insulating Plate
The 9 mm PLC-ESK GY power terminal block is the same
shape as the PLC INTERFACE modules. It is used to
supply the bridging potentials. Its nominal current is 32 A.
For currents ≤ 6 A, the power can be supplied directly at the
connection terminal blocks of one of the connected PLC
INTERFACE modules.
The PLC-ATP insulating plate should always be installed at
the start and end of every terminal strip.
In addition to the visual separation of function blocks, it is
also necessary in some cases to install the insulating plate
between adjacent PLC INTERFACE modules, e.g., when
three phases (L1, L2, L3) are used on the contact side of the
PLC INTERFACE modules.
FBST Plug-In Bridges
The colored, insulated FBST plug-in bridges reduce wiring
time for the PLC INTERFACE modules by up to 70% in
comparison with conventionally wired relay modules. 2-pos.
FBST 6 single plug-in bridges are ideal for bridging a
smaller number of modules and total currents ≤ 6 A. For a
circuit supplied from both sides, they offer the advantage
that the circuit can be opened at any point, while allowing all
the other modules to continue being supplied at the same
time.
PLC-ATP has prescored break-out points at the bridging
positions, so that individual bridges can be passed through
if necessary.
PLC-BP Feed-Through Bridge
Instead of a relay or solid-state relay, the PLC-BP (A1-14)
passive feed-through bridge can be inserted in the basic
terminal block of the PLC INTERFACE series. This enables
a passive connection to be established between terminal
points A1 and 14.
If a PLC-ATP insulating plate is to be bypassed with single
plug-in bridges, the FBST 8 2-pos. plug-in bridge must be
used.
PLC-V8 Adapter
The FBST 14 2-pos. plug-in bridge connects adjacent
connections on a 14 mm PLC INTERFACE module. In this
way, contacts can be connected in series or in parallel
without additional wiring.
The PLC-V8 adapter can be used to connect both 6.2 mm
and 14 mm PLC INTERFACE modules quickly and easily to
the VARIOFACE system cabling (see INTERFACE
catalog).
