- Designed to monitor emergency (E-STOP) switches and security doors/shields.
- Compact DIN-rail housing for easy installation in switchboards.
- Compliant with safety standards for apLication in the machinery and automation industries.
- Clear indication LEDs for easy diagnostics and service.
Purpose and application
The ESR5-NO-31-24VAC-DC safety relay is designed for use in emergency stop systems and monitoring of protective guards such as safety doors, light curtains and mechanical guards. It can be used in apLications that require a high level of safety, such as production machines, packaging lines, machine tools, material handling systems and automated production cells. The system enables the realization of safety functions in a category that corresponds to the applicable EN standards, and provides reliable separation of control circuits from executive circuits.
Safety functions and diagnostics
The device makes it possible to monitor two-channel emergency stop buttons and two-channel door switches, providing signal compatibility checks and detecting short circuits between channels. The relay is equipped with three independent NO safety outputs and, depending on the configuration, an additional information output for status indication. LEDs on the front of the module provide information on power supply status, safety input status and output status for easy commissioning and fault diagnosis in the field. The internal circuit provides forced contact routing and return-to-rest monitoring, which increases the level of reliability and safety.
Electrical parameters and operating conditions
The relay is powered by 24 V AC/DC and is suitable for operation in typical environmental conditions prevailing in industrial switchgear, with appropriate insulation clearances and cooling conditions. The NO safety output contacts are suitable for switching industrial loads, such as contactors, solenoid valves and drives, within the limits of the load parameters specified in the technical documentation. The design of the module and the housing materials used provide resistance to typical vibrations and shocks occurring in apLication of industrial loads, as well as an adequate degree of mechanical protection when mounted in a control cabinet.
