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

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays provide an innovative 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 main goal of these relays is to create a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that meets the highest safety standards.

Two Versions for Maximum Flexibility:

• MINOS SL Series: 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: With safe relay outputs that provide potential-free switching contacts. This version is perfect for applications that require galvanic isolation of signals.

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.

Simple Diagnostics and Maintenance:

The MINOS safety relays are equipped with status and error LEDs that indicate the operating status and potential faults. This makes maintenance easier, minimizes downtime, and enables fast troubleshooting.

Space-Saving Design – Ultra-Slim with Only 6 mm Width:
With an ultra-slim design of only 6 mm in width, the relays allow for high packing density in the control cabinet. This saves space and reduces installation costs. This design is ideal for applications where space in the control cabinet is limited.

Wide Range of Applications:

The MINOS safety relays are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of 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 entry 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 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 guarantee safe and reliable operation in safety-critical applications in the process industry as well as in machinery, systems, and combustion systems.
