Omron LY2 general relay 24VAC, DPDT 240VAC 10A

Relays are used as an interface between different signal levels or to isolate one signal from another. Relay is similar in function to a contactor. The modules are often used to enable the outputs of PLC's to control higher voltage and current loads. For example, a load voltage can be even 250 V and it will be still completely galvanically isolated from the PLC.

Relays have the following qualities:

• Cheap
• Small size, but compared to size can still connect large currents and voltages
• Simple construction
• Does not interfere with the controlled signal besides for the contacts resistive effect (in practice no effect on anything)
• Can drive alternating current and directed current loads

Some examples of relay applications:

• Control of AC / DC loads
• Application with electrical isolation
• To convert an NPN output into a PNP output
• To convert an PNP output into a NPN output
