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

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays provide a modern and highly functional safety solution. With a width of only 6 mm, these relays combine the highest safety standards, simple diagnostic functions, and flexible connection options in a space-saving design. The goal of the MINOS series is to provide a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that focuses on the essentials while still meeting the highest safety requirements.

### Available Versions
The MINOS series is available in two versions that meet different 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 where galvanic isolation of signals is required.

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.

### Excellent Diagnostic Functions
For quick fault detection, the MINOS series relays are equipped with status and error LEDs. These LEDs indicate the operating status and potential faults. This makes maintenance easier, reduces downtime, and allows for fast detection and correction of errors.

### Space-Saving Design – Only 6 mm Wide
With a width of only 6 mm, the MINOS safety relays are one of the slimmest safety solutions on the market. These ultra-slim relays allow for a high packing density in control cabinets, saving space and reducing installation costs. The compact design is particularly advantageous for machines and systems where space in the control cabinet is limited.

### Versatile Applications
The MINOS safety relays are highly versatile and can be used in numerous safety-critical applications, including:

• Monitoring Emergency Stop Buttons: For 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 the intrusion of people or objects 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 safety relays are specially certified for continuous operation in combustion systems according to EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2. In addition, the modules meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1, making them suitable for use in the process industry. These certifications guarantee that the relays meet the stringent requirements for safety-critical applications in the process industry as well as in machinery, systems, and combustion systems.
