Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-Relay IndustryPack Module

The Abaco Systems/SBS/Greenspring IP-Relay is a single-wide IndustryPack module that delivers eight Form C latching relays for industrial control and switching applications. Each relay maintains its state until an opposite command is issued, with local timing logic automatically generating the required 3 msec pulse for set or reset operations. Gold-plated bifurcated contacts provide 60 mΩ resistance even after one million operations, while integrated pi filters suppress coil noise from entering the power supply.

The module supports zero wait states for high-speed data transfer and can be configured as a dual eight-channel multiplexer or de-multiplexor via onboard wiring options.

Technical Specifications

• Eight Form C (DPDT) latching relays


• Contact rating: 1 A at 30 VDC


• Contact resistance: 60 mΩ (gold-plated bifurcated contacts)


• Pulse duration: 3 msec (set/reset)


• Zero wait states for all accesses


• Pi filter noise suppression on coil lines


• CMOS logic with extremely low average power dissipation

Key Features

• Latching relay operation maintains set or reset state indefinitely
