Use this contactor interface module from Schneider Electric with the LC1 series of contactors. It lets you switch the contactor using a low-level signal from a PLC output. The module also provides electrical isolation to protect users from electric shocks and equipment from damage caused by overcurrent. The LC1 series encompasses contactors with standard and reversing functions, DIN rail and panel mounting options, and screw and cage clamp terminals, giving you the versatility to build a bespoke system that fits your needs.

• Solid-state technology means there are no moving parts, so no chance of mechanical failure or wear
• LED indicator for at-a-glance status monitoring
• Operating temperature range of -25° to +70°C makes it suitable for extreme environments

• Motor starters
• Control systems
• Industrial pumps

A PLC is a programmable logic controller, which is a small computer used to automate industrial processes. They're often used in place of complicated relay systems and have the advantage that they can be reprogrammed without the need for rewiring. Their rugged design makes them suitable for harsh industrial environments.
