The Most Trusted Relay Card for S7-300 in 2025
Still the number-one choice when you need robust, potential-free switching of AC and DC loads up to 230 V / 5 A directly from the PLC rack. Plants love it because:
- True dry contacts – no voltage drop or polarity issues
- 5 A continuous per channel (real-world 8 A peak)
- LED per channel + group diagnostics in STEP 7
- Over 3.5 million units in service, fully supported in TIA Portal 18
Failure Symptoms Triggering Immediate Orders
Technicians buy this exact card when:
- “Relay output fault 16#E200” or single channel stuck ON/OFF
- Burnt smell or audible clicking from relay coil failure
- Diagnostic buffer shows “short-circuit to L+” after inductive kickback
- Manual override no longer works on channels 9–12 → 96% of faults resolved by hot-swap in <20 minutes
Real-World Deployments 2024–2025
- Oil & Gas: Shell refineries – 230 VAC valve actuators & motor starters
- Building Automation: Siemens Desigo systems – lighting & HVAC damper control
- Marine: Meyer Werft cruise ships – safety-critical door & pump relays
