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

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays offer a modern safety solution characterized by their compact design, high functionality, and flexible use. With a width of only 6 mm, these relays allow for space-saving installation in control cabinets without compromising on safety. The main goal of these relays is to provide a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that focuses on the essentials while still meeting the highest safety standards.

### Two Versions for Different Requirements

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

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

### Excellent Diagnostic Functions
The MINOS series relays are equipped with status and error LEDs that indicate the operating status and potential faults. This simplifies maintenance, reduces downtime, and allows for fast error detection and correction.

### Space-Saving Design – Only 6 mm Wide
With a width of only 6 mm, the MINOS safety relays are among the slimmest solutions on the market. This space-saving design enables a particularly high packing density in control cabinets, saves valuable space, and reduces installation costs. This is especially useful for machines and systems where space in the control cabinet is limited.

### Versatile Applications
The MINOS series safety relays are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of safety-critical applications, including:

• Monitoring Emergency Stop Buttons: Ensures the safe and immediate shutdown of the machine in hazardous situations.
• Monitoring Safety Doors: Prevents the machine from operating when the safety door is open.
• Monitoring Light Curtains: Detects entry into hazardous areas 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 safety relays are certified for continuous operation in combustion systems according to EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2. They also meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1, making them suitable for use in the process industry. These certifications ensure that the relays meet the stringent requirements for safety-critical applications in the process industry as well as in machinery, systems, and combustion systems.
