Max Switching:20 operations per second no load, 6 operation per minute for rated life at rated load.
Operate Time:5 ms typical
Initial Release Time:2 ms typical
Mechanical Life:10 million operations
Electrical Life:100K operations at 20A, 14VDC, 1mH

The input to the spike is opto-isolated so the RoboRio output does not drive the relay directly. If I were to use a spike, I would drive it off an RoboRio relay output & use a regular spike object (or whatever you call those programing thingies) to program it.
