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

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays are designed to provide maximum safety functions in minimal space. With a width of only 6 mm, these relays enable extremely space-saving installation in control cabinets. The goal of the MINOS series is to provide a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that focuses on the essentials without compromising on safety.

### Available Versions
The MINOS series is available in two main versions, tailored to meet the diverse needs of industry:

• MINOS SL Series: Features 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: Equipped with safe relay outputs that provide potential-free switching contacts. This version is preferred for applications where galvanic isolation of signals is required.

Both series meet the highest safety requirements up to PL e / Cat. 4 / SIL 3, providing maximum safety in industrial applications.

### Efficient Diagnostic Functions
The MINOS safety relays are equipped with status and error LEDs that display the operating status and potential faults. This simplifies diagnosis and enables quick troubleshooting. The clear visibility of the LEDs helps minimize downtime and increase productivity.

### Space-Saving Design – Ultra-Slim with Only 6 mm Width
At only 6 mm wide, the MINOS safety relays are among the slimmest safety solutions on the market. This space-saving design allows for high packing density in control cabinets, saving valuable space and reducing installation costs. The design is ideal for machines and systems where space in the control cabinet is limited.

### Versatile Applications
The MINOS safety relays are suitable for a wide range of 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 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 Safety-Critical Areas of Use
The MINOS series safety relays are specifically certified for continuous operation in combustion systems according to EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2. In addition, the relays meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1, making them suitable for use in the process industry. These certifications guarantee reliable use in safety-critical processes, machines, systems, and combustion systems.
