In general, a DCS or PLC, handles numerous discrete I/Os. One common I/O module (board) is used to supply 8, 16 or more points. Discrete output circuits from a DCS typically use low power level signals (transistors, micro relays) which cannot be sent directly to the field devices such as electromagnetic valves or motor control circuits. That is why interposing relays are often necessary.
These relays play an important role by amplifying the current capacity of the contact signal of the I/O module allowing larger current flow. In addition, discrete input circuits normally can handle only dry contacts or wet contacts of low voltage, which also require interposing relays.
For example, let's say the relay of a PLC can only accommodate 0.5A at 220 VAC, but the solenoid which is to be connected to the relay requires 1.2A at 220 VAC. In this case, an interposing relay with contacts rated for operation at 1.2A at 220 VAC would be used as an interposing relay "between" the PLC relay and the solenoid. The coil of the interposing relay should require less voltage and current than the driving relay is rated for, and the contacts of the interposing relay must be rated to handle the requirements of the load (solenoid, light, contactor, motor, etc.).

How many people in a relay running race?
There are multiple relay races: 4x100, 4x100, distance medley, and other less used relays. Every relay has 4 members.
Why does radiator fan relay fail?
When the radiator fan relay fails on a vehicle, it can quickly overheat due to the lack of cooling. The fan is designed to kick on at specific temperatures controlled by the relay.

What is the purpose of interposing relay panel?
Interposing relay panel is an Instrument / Electrical cabinet used for hardwired signal (digital inputs and outputs) interfaces between Instrumentation and Control Equipments system and associated circuit breakers,or other electrical devices for monitoring, controlling
What is interposing relay?
It is a relay that has two states. in one state a set of contacts will make or break. In the other state the other set of contacts will make or break. One coil operating two sets of common, normally open, normally closed. each set of contacts will change states when the coil is momentarily energized.

What is auxiliary relay?
An auxiliary relay is a back-up relay in case the primary relay fails.
What is pick up of a relay?
The "pick up" of a relay is a setting at which the relay will begin to operate. Such as an overcurrent relay - if the pickup is set to 5A, when 5A is flowing through the relay, the relay will operate.
