2.2.2.2  3RT2 power contactors 
The table below shows the different versions of the 3RT2 power contactors. The contactors 
are equipped with AC and DC drive options. An electronic UC drive can also be ordered for 
size S0. Special communication-capable contactors are available for integration via 
AS-Interface or IO-Link by means of 3RA27 function modules; these contactors enable the 
voltage of the main circuit to be tapped directly. The communication-capable power 
contactor is supplied with a 24 V DC drive option.
