Space-saving: Safety relay module SRB-E-302ST and output expansion SRB-E-402EM
Schmersal launches two new safety modules: the safety relay module SRB-E-302ST and the output expansion SRB-E-402EM are efficient and space-saving solutions for safe signal evaluation.
One evaluation unit for two safety sensors: the most striking feature of the SRB-E-302ST safety relay module, with which Schmersal will replace several modules in the outdated AES series. The module enables monitoring of all common electromechanical and electronic safety switches and safety sensors, as well as active opto-electronic protective devices (AOPDs). Depending on the application, the module switches with the fail-safe relay contacts or wear-free with a fail-safe semiconductor output. The module allows the realisation of applications up to category 4/PL e (EN ISO 13849-1) as well as SIL 3 (IEC 61508).
The new series gives the electrical designer scope to save space in the switch cabinet and reduce costs, while at the same time utilising the full functionality of a state-of-the-art safety module twice over. Control is either single-channel or dual-channel and the module comes with functions including stop 0, autostart and reset with edge monitoring, plus the option to select from 24 pre- configured applications with a rotary switch. The user can select the start function with a second rotary switch.
