Allen-Bradley 700DC-P400Z2 Bulletin 700-P Heavy-Duty DC Control Relay

Allen-Bradley 700DC-P400Z2 Bulletin 700-P Heavy-Duty DC Control Relay

Configured for switching DC control circuits, the Allen-Bradley 700DC-P400Z2 (700DC-P400 DC Control Relay) provides direct contact switching for DC-operated equipment and control circuits within Bulletin 700-P relay systems.

Hardware Specifications

DC Coil and Industrial Control Characteristics

The relay uses a 230 to 250 VDC operating coil identified by the provided Z2 suffix designation. The four normally open contacts provide electrically actuated switching for external DC control circuits.

The open-type construction requires installation within an appropriate panel or protected control enclosure. Mounting provisions support panel and DIN rail installation according to the selected hardware arrangement.

As an Allen-Bradley Bulletin 700-P component, the device belongs to industrial control hardware rather than a PLC communication module. Therefore, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, firmware compatibility, and backplane bus parameters do not apply to this relay itself.

The contact interface should be evaluated against the connected load characteristics, including steady-state current, inrush current, and the electrical behavior of inductive loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What coil voltage is specified for the 700DC-P400Z2?

A: The provided data specifies a 230 to 250 VDC operating coil voltage.

Q: How many normally open contacts are provided?

A: The relay provides four normally open contacts for external control-circuit switching.

Q: Is a specific power consumption value provided?

A: No coil power-consumption value is included in the supplied technical data, so no numerical value is assigned.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the relay on a mechanically secure panel or DIN rail location with adequate enclosure protection for the application.

Verify the control supply voltage before energizing the DC coil. Keep the coil wiring physically separated from unrelated low-level analog or communication wiring.

Route contact-load conductors according to the applicable panel wiring practices and maintain suitable separation from sensitive signal circuits.

For inductive loads, evaluate the load switching characteristics and provide suitable suppression where required by the circuit design.

Terminate protective and control wiring according to the applicable enclosure and electrical installation standards. Ensure all terminals remain mechanically secure after wiring.

Where shielded conductors are used for nearby instrumentation circuits, terminate shields according to the system grounding design and avoid creating unintended ground loops.

Inspect contact and coil wiring before commissioning, then verify correct normally open contact operation under the intended control sequence.
