Description
ABB DSTXW110
- Technical Specifications (typical relay version — 8 ch SPST-NO):
- Output Type: Electromechanical relay, SPST-NO (Form A) — some versions SPDT (Form C)
- Channels: 8 (individually isolated) or 16 (paired groups)
- Rated Switching Voltage: Max 250 V AC, Max 110 V DC (some versions 125 V DC — check label)
- Rated Switching Current: 2 A / 5 A resistive @ 250 V AC (verify exact rating on module — common = 2 A or 5 A)
- Minimum Load: 10 mA / 5 V DC (contact wetting requirement)
- Contact Material: Silver alloy (AgCdO or AgSnO₂)
- Operate / Release Time: ≈10 ms / 5 ms
- Coil Supply: 24 V DC from S100 backplane (internally derived)
- Isolation: 2000 V AC channel-to-coil and channel-to-channel
- Power Dissipation: Typ. 2–3 W (all relays energized)
- Indicators: Per-channel yellow LED (ON = relay energized); module Run / Error LED
- Operating Temp.: 0 °C to +60 °C
- Mounting: S100 I/O rack slot
- Certifications: CE, UL, cUL
- Functional Features:
- Fully isolated per channel — mix AC and DC loads safely in same module
- Relay coil supervision — module warns if 24 V backplane supply lost
- Suitable for switching motor starter coils, alarm sirens, solenoid valves (AC), indicator beacons
- Dry-contact closure also usable for signaling to other control systems
- Application Scenarios:
- Switching 230 V AC alarm horns / beacons in plant annunciator
- Controlling 110 V DC / 230 V AC motor starter (contactor) coils
- Interfacing dry contacts to third-party equipment (e.g., start permit to old relay-based system)
- Driving AC solenoid valves (irrigation, HVAC dampers)
- Material & Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
- Same S100 form factor — plug into rack to right of DSTK150
- Wire load between COM and NO terminal; verify voltage/current rating on nameplate
- For inductive AC loads (contactor coils) fit external RC snubber across load to extend contact life
- Electrical life ≈10⁵ ops at rated resistive load — plan replacement in high-cycle applications
- Do NOT exceed voltage/current rating — contact welding may occur; for >5 A use interposing contactor
- Minimum load caution — very low current signals (<10 mA) may cause contact oxidation over time (use gold-flashed contacts version for low-level signals)
