Ultra-Slim Safety Relays – Compact Safety in a 6 mm Design

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays offer a revolutionary safety solution with minimal space requirements. With a width of only 6 mm, they combine high safety standards, versatile connection options, and easy diagnostic functions. Their goal is to provide a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that focuses on the essentials while still ensuring maximum safety.

Two Series for Different Requirements:

• MINOS SL Series: Equipped with wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs. This technology ensures extremely long service life without mechanical wear – ideal for frequent switching.
• MINOS SD Series: Equipped with safe relay outputs that provide potential-free switching contacts. This version is perfect when galvanic isolation of signals is required.

Both series offer the highest level of safety up to PL e / Cat. 4 / SIL 3, making them ideal for safety-critical applications in industry.

Advanced Diagnostic Functions:

The MINOS safety relays are equipped with status and error LEDs, which indicate the operating status as well as any potential faults. This facilitates maintenance and allows for quick troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

Space-Saving Design – Only 6 mm Wide:
With a width of just 6 mm, these safety relays are extremely space-saving. They allow for high packing density in control cabinets, saving valuable space and reducing installation costs.

Versatile Applications:

The MINOS series offers numerous application possibilities, especially in safety-critical areas of machines and systems. Typical applications include:

• Emergency Stop Monitoring: Ensures the fast and safe shutdown of the machine when the emergency stop button is pressed.
• Monitoring of Safety Doors: Prevents machine operation when safety doors are opened.
• Monitoring of Light Curtains: Detects entry into hazardous areas and shuts down the machine.
• Reinforcement of Safe Outputs: Amplifies the safe outputs of PLC systems to control contactors or relays.

Certified for Demanding Areas of Use:

The MINOS series safety relays are certified for continuous operation in combustion systems according to EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2. They are also certified for use in the process industry according to IEC 61511-1. These certifications make the MINOS series the first choice for use in safety-critical industries such as the process industry and in systems with combustion units.
