Ultra-Compact Safety Relays – Modular, Space-Saving, and Cost-Efficient

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays offer a state-of-the-art safety solution that combines maximum functionality in minimal space. With a width of only 6 mm, these relays enable space-saving installation in control cabinets. Their goal is to provide a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that focuses on the essentials while still maintaining the highest safety standards.

### Available Versions
The MINOS series includes two different versions, each tailored to specific application requirements:

• MINOS SL Series: Equipped with wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs. This technology ensures an especially long service life and is ideal for applications with frequent switching operations.
• MINOS SD Series: Features 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 requirements up to PL e / Cat. 4 / SIL 3, making them ideal for safety-critical applications in industry.

### Diagnostics and Status Indicators
To facilitate easy monitoring and maintenance, the safety relays are equipped with status and error LEDs. These indicators display the operating status and potential faults, allowing for quick diagnosis. This reduces downtime and simplifies troubleshooting.

### Space-Saving Design – Ultra-Slim with Only 6 mm Width
With a width of only 6 mm, the MINOS safety relays offer a space-saving solution for control cabinets. The slim design allows multiple relays to be installed side by side, achieving a higher packing density in the control cabinet. This saves space and reduces installation costs.

### Wide Range of Applications
Thanks to their flexible use, MINOS safety relays are suitable for a wide range of safety-critical applications, including:

• Monitoring Emergency Stop Buttons: Ensures the immediate and safe shutdown of the machine in hazardous situations.
• Monitoring Safety Doors: Ensures that the machine can only be operated 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 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. For use in the process industry, the modules meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1. These certifications ensure that the relays meet the stringent requirements for safety-critical processes in the process industry as well as in machinery, systems, and combustion systems.
