    Safety Relays

    Receive signals from safety monitoring relays or controllers to switch devices off and on because of a system failure. Also known as force-guided or mechanically linked contacts, the interlocking opposing contacts on these relays cannot be open or closed at the same time. To keep your system from receiving false switching signals, the interlocking opposing contact must remain open even if a contact welds closed.
    IP20 rated, they have recessed terminals that prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. These relays have been tested to safety standards that can help you achieve your system's PL (performance level) and SIL (safety integrity level). Choose a relay with a PL and SIL rating to meet the needs of your system. Higher ratings indicate greater safety protection. As your system becomes more complex, you generally require a higher safety protection level. Mount them to 35mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 Rail).
    SIL 3, PLe Max. System Safety Rating—DIN-Rail Mount

    Relays that meet SIL 3 are tested for applications with a probability of failure of 0.01% to 0.1% and are used for preventing fires, explosions, or toxic releases.
    Mirror Auxiliary Contacts—Relays with mirror auxiliary contacts have contacts that are normally closed and cannot be open at the same time as a normally open main contact.
    Nondetachable Auxiliary Contacts—Relays with nondetachable contacts have auxiliary contacts that won’t separate from the relay if there is shock or vibration.
    Self-Monitoring Circuitry—When a failure is detected, relays with self-monitoring circuitry signal the controller to remove power and prevent restarting until the issue is resolved.

    Relay

    Relay with

    Time Delay

    Control and diagnose issues with safety-critical circuits. These relays have a microprocessor that monitors safety components, such as emergency stops and light curtains, and sends a signal to stop the operation if a failure is detected and restart when the issue is resolved. They also help with diagnostic tasks because of their feedback circuit, which allows basic relays to communicate their status back to the safety relay. These relays have a duplicate set of input and output signals, so they’ll still stop the controlled device if one of the inputs fails.
    IP20 rated, they have recessed terminals which prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. These relays have been tested to multiple safety standards and can help achieve PL, SIL, or CAT system ratings. They also meet ISO and IEC standards for machine safety.
    Mount them to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 Rail) for fast installation.
    Time Delay—Relays with delayed safety outputs are often used where power must be maintained after an input signal is received. For example, after a stop button for a machine is pressed, the guard door will stay locked until the machine cycle is finished.
