Technical Specifications

Detailed engineering parameters based on manufacturer documentation

ParameterValueParameterValue
Notes on operation
Separating plate PLC-ATP must be installed for voltages larger than 250 V (L1, L2, L3) between identical terminal blocks in adjacent modules. Potential bridging is then carried out with FBST 8-PLC... or FBST 500....
Notes on operation
The PLC-ATP separating plate should be installed for safe isolation between adjacent modules
Assembly note
The PLC-ATP separating plate is required at the start and end of every PLC terminal strip.
Notes on operation
The system installer must ensure the touch protection of the product (at voltages > 25 V AC/60 V DC). The product is a built-in device without protection against direct contact.
