LC1D12B7C Schneider contactor with Siemens S7-1200

[KL APU]

HELLO FOLKS

I want to control a 3Phase motor by using Siemens s7-1200, and I am ok with the programming,
and I have to use Schneider contactor LC1D12B7C which has an AC24v coil



Q1: How I am supposed to connect the plc to the contactor coil.
Note: the PLC which I have isn't a relay type PLC, and is transistor type., 24v ouput.

Q2: Is it the only option to have a relay for controlling each contactor

Thanks a lot for your help

Go through a relay, only sensible option.
