Schneider Electric ABE7R16S111

Schneider Electric ABE7R16S111 Electromechanical Output Relay Sub-Base – Product Description

The Schneider Electric ABE7R16S111 is a highly reliable electromechanical output relay sub-base designed as part of the Advantys Telefast ABE7 product range. Engineered for optimal compatibility with PLC systems, this component simplifies signal connection and output control across industrial applications. With 16 output channels, the ABE7R16S111 is ideal for managing complex automation environments, offering efficient signal distribution and dependable performance for electromechanical outputs.

This unit features removable terminal blocks, allowing quick and easy wiring changes during installation or maintenance. Each channel is equipped with a single terminal, and the polarity distribution is configured with a common contact per group of 8 channels, streamlining system integration. Designed to be mounted via DIN rail clips or solid plate screws, it offers flexible installation options for control cabinets and industrial panels.

The supply voltage at the PLC end is 24 VDC, and each channel can handle up to 2 amps, with the output common supporting up to 12 amps. The ABE7R16S111 is built with high durability and reliability. Its mechanical durability is rated at 20 million cycles, and its electrical durability is up to 500,000 cycles, depending on switching conditions. This ensures long service life even in high-use environments.

Switching performance includes a maximum voltage of 250 V AC or 30 V DC, conforming to IEC 60947-5-1 standards, with one normally open (NO) contact per channel. The unit supports a switching frequency of up to 10 Hz, making it suitable for applications that require moderate-speed signal control. Response times are also fast, with ≤10 ms closing time, ≤6 ms opening time, and minimal contact bounce time of 5 ms.

The rated insulation voltage is 2000 V, and the impulse withstand voltage is 2.5 kV, supporting Category II installation environments, as per IEC 60664-1. Even in harsh industrial conditions, this component performs reliably with minimal signal interference.

MRO Electric and Supply offers the ABE7R16S111 with a 2-year warranty, free shipping, and immediate availability, helping maintenance teams minimize downtime and streamline replacements or system upgrades. Whether you're looking to build a new PLC-based control system or need a durable relay interface for an existing setup, this Schneider Electric relay sub-base delivers professional-grade performance with trusted quality.
