Introduction:


In modern industrial automation, safety and signal integrity are top priorities—especially when managing communication between low-voltage controllers like PLCs and high-voltage output devices. That’s where the GIC Isolated Relay Module shines. Engineered with galvanic isolation and rugged construction, this module is designed to protect control systems while ensuring seamless relay switching.

Available from Eurocon Instruments, this reliable module offers excellent performance across a range of automation and control applications.


🛡 Why Isolation Matters

In many industrial scenarios, control systems and field devices operate on different voltage levels. Directly linking them without protection risks short circuits, electrical noise, and component failure. The Isolated Relay Module from GIC solves this by using optical isolation or transformer coupling, allowing the relay to be triggered without direct electrical contact.


This results in:

  • Protection of sensitive components (like PLCs, microcontrollers)

  • Safe operation even in high-voltage environments

  • Reduced signal noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI)


⚙️ Key Specifications & Features

  • Input Voltage Options: 5V, 12V, or 24V DC

  • Relay Output: SPDT / DPDT (customized options available)

  • Relay Rating: Up to 10A @ 250V AC or 30V DC

  • Isolation Voltage: Typically 1500V AC between input and output

  • Mounting Type: DIN rail or PCB mount

  • LED Indicators: For input signal and relay status

  • Built-in Snubber & Flyback Diode: Protects against voltage spikes

  • Temperature Range: -20°C to +60°C


Whether for single-channel or multi-channel configurations, the GIC Isolated Relay Module is compact, reliable, and easy to integrate into your automation panel.


✅ Applications

This relay module finds use across a wide variety of systems, including:

  • PLC-to-load interfacing

  • Motor and actuator control

  • Signal switching and I/O expansion

  • Alarm triggering and indication systems

  • Process control and SCADA systems

  • Safety interlock mechanisms

If your automation system requires safe, fast, and isolated switching, this is your go-to module.
