Product Description:

MCE161-0 is a latest product of B & R Automation brand that falls within the DI Digital Input PLC Modules category as a contactor component. This delivers precise switching control. It 690 VAC rated operational voltage sustains high‑voltage networks which expands system compatibility. A 160 A rated current handles heavy load demands to sustain continuous operation. A 230 VAC control voltage aligns with standard control circuits which simplify power sourcing. 3 poles support three‑phase applications and that further balances electrical phases.

A 50/60 Hz frequency rating fits global mains supplies which avoids frequency converters. A 1000 VAC rated insulation voltage ensures strong electrical isolation to protect against voltage surges. One NO plus one NC auxiliary contact enables flexible signaling, thus enhancing status feedback. A DIN rail or screw mount system offers versatile installation options and speeds mounting. An electrical life of 1,000,000 operations provide long‑term duty and reduces maintenance intervals. The mechanical life of 10,000,000 operations for the product MCE161-0 endures extensive cycling which maximizes uptime.

An IP20 protection class guards against solid foreign objects, ensuring safe indoor use. 16 digital inputs accommodate multiple signal sources which streamline field wiring. With an input delay that configures in 100 µs increments up to 25 ms filters transient noise improves signal stability. A sampling jitter up to 50 µs combines input reads to network cycles which maintains synchronization. This PLC component works at an operating temperature between 0°C to +55°C, thus adapts to typical control‑room climates to avoids thermal derating. A module width of 12 mm conserves DIN‑rail space that allows compact panel layouts.
