Can a PLC Bypass Relays to Directly Control Contactors?
This depends on the specific model of the PLC. PLCs can be categorized into relay output, transistor output, and thyristor output. Relay-type PLCs can directly control contactors, while transistor and thyristor-type PLCs cannot directly control contactors. The maximum output current of relay-type PLCs is 2A, which can drive AC and DC loads. The allowable load … Read more
