Phoenix Contact’s PLC-Interface Ethernet Gateway combines communication, I/O and relays in one modular system, connecting up ...

Safety relays are electromechanical switching devices designed to prevent failure in critical switching operations. Relays are designed to isolate circuits or control a high powered circuit using a ...

The 1-Wire Net, or MicroLAN (by Maxim-Dallas), is a simple way to connect slow devices (such as sensors, relay drivers, switches, and so on) using simple components. These components contain the ...

Relay sockets accept electromechanical switches in which the variation of current in one electric circuit controls the flow of electricity in another circuit. Relay sockets are made of metal or ...

A relay is just a switch. The purpose of any switch is to turn something on and off. A relay turns HVAC equipment on or off. It’s that easy. A thermostat is also just a switch that turns HVAC ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

As automation expands, mechanical functions are relying more and more on electronic control. Solenoids provide an electromechanical interface for many of these applications. In addition, many ...
