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

The ultra-compact MINOS series safety relays offer a modern and highly functional safety solution that focuses on the essentials. With a width of only 6 mm, these relays enable space-saving installation in control cabinets while providing maximum safety. The goal of the MINOS series is to create a modular, cost-efficient safety solution that meets the highest safety requirements.

### Available Versions
The MINOS series is available in two versions to meet different application needs:

• MINOS SL Series: Features wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs. This technology ensures a 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 ideal for applications requiring galvanic isolation of signals.

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

### Efficient Diagnostic and Status Indicators
The MINOS series safety relays feature status and error LEDs that display the operating status and potential faults. This facilitates maintenance, minimizes downtime, and enables fast error detection and correction.

### Space-Saving Design – Ultra-Slim with Only 6 mm Width
Thanks to their ultra-compact design of only 6 mm width, the relays enable particularly high packing density in control cabinets. This saves space and reduces installation costs. The slim design is ideal for applications where space in the control cabinet is limited.

### Versatile Applications
The MINOS 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: Ensures that the machine can only be operated when the safety door is closed.
• 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 the safe operation of the relays in safety-critical processes, machines, systems, and combustion systems.
