Ultra-Compact Safety Relays – Maximum Safety in Only 6 mm Width

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays offer a space-saving and modular safety solution that focuses on the essentials. With a width of only 6 mm, they enable maximum safety with minimal space requirements in the control cabinet. These relays are specifically designed to provide a cost-effective yet powerful safety solution for industrial applications.

Two Versions for Flexible Applications:

• MINOS SL Series: With wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs. This technology ensures particularly high durability and is ideal for fast and frequent switching operations.
• MINOS SD Series: With safe relay outputs that provide potential-free switching contacts. This version is particularly suitable for applications where galvanic isolation of signals is required.

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

Simple Diagnostics and Maintenance:

The relays feature status and error LEDs that allow quick fault detection. This facilitates efficient maintenance and minimizes downtime.

Versatile Applications:

Thanks to flexible connection options, the MINOS safety relays can be used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Monitoring Emergency Stop Buttons: Ensures immediate and safe shutdown of the machine.
• Monitoring Safety Doors: Ensures that the machine does not operate when the safety door is open.
• Monitoring Light Curtains: Detects intrusion into the hazard area and shuts down the machine immediately.
• Reinforcement of Safe Outputs: Amplifies safe outputs from PLC systems to control downstream contactors or relays.

Certified for Demanding Areas of Use:

The MINOS series is specifically certified for continuous operation in combustion systems according to EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2. In addition, the relays are certified according to IEC 61511-1, making them suitable for use in the process industry. These certifications ensure safe and reliable operation in safety-critical applications.
