Product Description

Overview

The Schneider Electric ABE7R16T370 sub-base integrates 16 electromechanical relay outputs to provide a pre-wired interface between PLC I/O modules and field devices. Moreover, its modular design reduces installation errors and simplifies wiring operations. The relay base is suitable for both AC and DC load switching and supports industrial environments with demanding operational requirements. With IP2x protection and compatibility with ABR7S33 plug-in relays, this sub-base ensures robust performance and easy integration into automation systems.
