ABR2E111M

What does this module do in a control panel?

It is a slim electromechanical input interface module used to isolate and adapt a 230–240 V AC control signal to a relay contact output, making it easier to interface field signals to PLC or control circuits.

What control voltage does it accept?

The control circuit is designed for 230–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. It will typically pick up at around 186 V AC, with a maximum control voltage limit of 264 V AC.

What type of output contact does it provide?

It provides a single normally-open (1 NO) electromechanical contact output for switching control signals.

What are the contact switching ratings?

The built-in contact is rated up to 1 A for several utilisation categories, including AC-12 up to 127 V AC and DC-12/DC-13 at 24 V DC (up to 1 A), with AC-14/AC-15 up to 0.5 A at 127 V AC. Maximum switching voltage is 140 V AC or 125 V DC, and the rated operational voltage is up to 127 V AC or 100 V DC (per IEC 60947-5-1).

Is there an indicator to show when the input is energised?

Yes. A green LED indicates the control signal state so you can quickly confirm when the input side is energised.

How wide is the module and how is it mounted?

It is a slim 9.5 mm wide module designed for mounting on standard DIN rails (symmetrical or asymmetrical) or combination rails, depending on the panel layout.

What terminals does it use and what wire sizes are supported?

It uses screw clamp terminals. Typical supported conductor sizes are 0.27–4 mm² (single rigid), 0.34–2.5 mm² (1–2 flexible with ferrule), and 0.6–2.5 mm² (1–2 flexible without ferrule).

Does it require external short-circuit protection?

Yes. It is specified for use with an external fast-blow fuse rated at 2 A for short-circuit protection.

What is the current consumption and power dissipation on the control side?

The maximum rated input current is 0.015 A. Typical power dissipation is about 0.54 W at 50 Hz and 0.77 W at 60 Hz.

How fast does the relay operate?

Typical operating time is up to 30 ms between coil energisation/de-energisation and contact change, with contact bounce time up to 5 ms.

What environmental and protection ratings should I allow for in a panel?

It is rated IP20 and intended for installation inside an enclosure. Typical ambient operating range is -25 to +70 °C (with defined ranges depending on supply level), and storage range is -40 to +80 °C.

What standards and approvals are associated with this module?

It is designed to IEC 60947-5-1 and commonly referenced with approvals such as UL, CSA, BV, DNV, and LROS depending on the installation context. ABR2E111M is also specified with dielectric strength figures including 2000 V between coil and contact circuits.
