Safety Relays – Reliable Protection for People and Machinery

Safety relays and safety switching devices form the central link between the sensor level and actuator level in safety-related control systems. They monitor emergency stop buttons, safety guards, light curtains and two-hand controls – and ensure the machine is reliably brought to a standstill when a fault is detected or a protective function is triggered. Unlike standard control relays, safety relays operate with redundant, positively guided relay contacts per IEC 61810-3 and integrated self-monitoring.

Modern safety switching devices are selected in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG and applicable national regulations. Achievable safety parameters range from Performance Level PL a to PL e (ISO 13849-1) and Safety Integrity Level SIL 1 to SIL 3 (IEC 62061). With the right device, complex safety functions such as speed monitoring, standstill monitoring or safe torque off can be realised in full compliance with applicable standards.

Our B2B assortment covers safety relays for all common protective sensor types: emergency stop switching devices, safety gate monitoring relays, two-hand safety relays, light curtain evaluation units as well as safety timing relays and expansion modules. Manufacturers such as Pilz, Schmersal, Euchner and Siemens set the standards for international machine safety.

Safety Relay Types Overview


Six device classes covering all safety-relevant protective functions in industry and mechanical engineering.

⚠ Emergency Stop Relays Monitor emergency stop pushbuttons (category 0/1 per ISO 13850) and ensure the safe de-energisation of the machine. Redundant NC contacts with cross-circuit detection up to PL e / SIL 3. ► Safety Gate Monitoring Relays Evaluate safety position switches and interlocks. Reliably detect open or bypassed safety guards and prevent machine start-up with the guard open. ✚ Two-Hand Safety Relays Require simultaneous actuation of both operator hands before triggering hazardous tool movements. Type III C per EN 574 – highest protection for presses and punching machines.
⚡ Light Curtain Evaluation Units Evaluate safety light curtains, grids and single-beam photoelectric sensors. Support blanking and muting functions for automated infeed systems without unnecessary machine stops. ◆ Safety Timing Relays Safety-rated run-down monitoring and switch-on delay for rotating masses and access release. Sequential control with self-monitoring compliant up to PL d. ⚙ Expansion and Coupling Relays Extend base units with additional safe output channels (OSSD). Safe coupling relays provide galvanic isolation between safety circuits and signal amplification for large control cabinet assemblies.

Typical Application Areas


Safety relays are used wherever people and equipment must be protected from hazardous machine movements.

Standards and Directives for Safety Relays


The selection and use of safety switching devices is clearly governed by international standards and EU directives.

ISO 13849-1 – Performance Level Defines requirements for safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS). The standard specifies 5 Performance Levels (PL a to PL e) and describes how to calculate them using category, MTTF, DC and CCF. The primary standard for machine builders in the EU. IEC 62061 – Safety Integrity Level Standard for safety-related electrical control systems in industry. Assesses safety functions via Safety Integrity Level (SIL 1 to 3) based on PFH values (probability of dangerous failure per hour). Used alongside or as an alternative to ISO 13849. EN 60947-5-1 – Low-Voltage Switchgear Product standard for electromechanical control devices. Governs technical requirements for control and signalling circuits, switching devices and positively guided contacts. Basis for CE marking of safety relays.
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC EU directive establishing essential health and safety requirements for machinery. Safety relays are frequently part of the evidence for the declaration of conformity. From 2027 it will be replaced by the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. IEC 61810-3 – Positively Guided Contacts Defines requirements for electromechanical elementary relays with positively guided contacts. The positive guidance ensures that NC and NO contacts can never be closed simultaneously – the fundamental principle of relay safety. EN 574 – Two-Hand Controls Safety standard specifically for two-hand controls. Defines three types (I, II, III) with different levels of protection. Type III C (simultaneous actuation, anti-defeat) is the highest level and is required for presses and stamping machines.

Performance Level vs. Safety Integrity Level


Both metrics describe the ability of a safety function to prevent a dangerous failure – calculated according to different standards.

PL (ISO 13849) SIL (IEC 62061) PFH Range (failures/h) Typical Application
PL a ≥ 10⁻⁵ to < 10⁻⁴ Simple guards, low risk categories
PL b SIL 1 ≥ 10⁻⁶ to < 10⁻⁵ Simple guards, minor injury risk
PL c SIL 1 ≥ 10⁻⁷ to < 10⁻⁶ Safety gates, simple guard rails, medium risks
PL d SIL 2 ≥ 10⁻⁸ to < 10⁻⁷ Emergency stop, interlocked safety gates, light curtains
PL e SIL 3 ≥ 10⁻⁹ to < 10⁻⁸ Highest requirements: presses, robot cells, ATEX zones

Single-Channel vs. Dual-Channel Evaluation


The number of channels is decisive for the achievable Performance Level and fault tolerance of the safety function.

► Single-Channel Evaluation (Category B, 1, 2)
For lower safety requirements (PL a to PL c)
One input signal is monitored
No protection against cable break or short circuit at the sensor
Suitable for simple guards and safety mats (low risks)
⚠ Dual-Channel Evaluation (Category 3, 4)
For high safety requirements (PL d, PL e)
Two independent input signals are evaluated redundantly
Integrated cross-circuit detection and wire break monitoring
Mandatory for emergency stop, interlocked guards, light curtains at robot cells
