PLC-connection
Design 3RT1...-.P for PLC-output, 24 V DC or PLC-relay output with
remaining lifetime indication, RLT
"Remaining lifetime
RLT" warning signal
When the remaining lifetime reaches 20 %, a warning signal is provided
over a free floating relay contact (NO, hard-gold plated, encapsulated) at the
R1/R2 terminals and can be processed through SIMOCODE-DP inputs, PLC
inputs or elsewhere.
Current ratings of the R1/R2 relay output:
• Ie/AC-15 at 24 ... 230 V: 3 A
• Ie/DC-13 at 24 V: 1 A
Control The contactor can be controlled:
• by PLC-output 24 V DC
• by a relay output, for example from a PLC, SIMOCODE-DP.
The PLC - connects to a 2 pole plug-in con-
nector on the front left side of the withdraw-
able coil (The Cage Clamp- plug-in connector
comes with delivery). The polarity is marked
on the plug-in connector.
The complete control electronics are con-
tained in the withdrawable coil. The mag-
netic coil and the control electronics make
up one device.

The entire electronics portion of
the models with remaining life-
time indication RLT is contained
in a side mounted electronic
module. The withdrawable coil
piece (for RLT) only contains the
magnetic coil. The coil is con-
nected to the side mounted elec-
tronic module by wires with tab
connectors in order to avoid con-
fusion with other coils when
changing them out.
The cables connected to the line
and load side of the contactor
are used for the remaining life-
time indication RLT detection.
