Zander Aachen Safety Module MINOS SL1E screw terminal; PL e/SILCL 3

Modular Safety Solution – Compact, Efficient, and Versatile

The MINOS series safety relays offer a cost-effective and modular safety solution that focuses on the essentials. With a width of only 6 mm, they enable space-saving installation in control cabinets without compromising on safety. The relays are available in two different versions to meet the diverse requirements of industrial applications.

Two Versions for Maximum Flexibility:

• MINOS SL Series: Equipped with wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs. This technology enables an extremely long service life without mechanical wear, making it ideal for applications with frequent switching operations.
• MINOS SD Series: Equipped with safe relay outputs that provide potential-free switching contacts. This version is ideal for applications that require galvanic isolation of signals.

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

Simple Diagnostics with Status and Error LEDs:

For quick fault detection, the MINOS safety relays feature status and error LEDs that display the operating status and potential faults. This simplifies troubleshooting, reduces downtime, and optimizes the maintenance process.

Versatile Applications:

The MINOS safety relays are suitable for numerous applications, including:

• Monitoring Emergency Stop Buttons: Ensures immediate and safe shutdown of the machine in the event of an emergency.
• Monitoring Safety Doors: Ensures that the machine only operates when the safety door is closed.
• Monitoring Light Curtains: Detects intrusion into the hazardous area and safely shuts down the machine.
• Reinforcement of Safe Outputs: Amplifies safe PLC outputs to control contactors or relays.

Certified for Specific 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. Additionally, the modules are certified according to IEC 61511-1 for use in the process industry. These certifications ensure the safe and reliable operation of the safety relays in safety-critical applications.
