SAFESERIES Contact Extension Relay Modules

Relay modules with positively driven contacts are used for functional safety. The SAFESERIES contact extension from Weidmüller uses relays with forcibly guided contacts in accordance with EN 61810-3 Type A. This makes it especially suitable for signal monitoring in applications for the protection of people and machinery.

The SAFESERIES contact extension ensures safe feedback to the control level. It consists of four different pluggable relays with matching screw sockets in the contact version 2 NO + 2 NC, 3 NO + 1 NC, 4 NO + 2 NC, and 3 NO + 3 NC. When the application is designed according to EN/ISO 13849-1, a performance level of PL e can be achieved. The basic component is also suitable for safety applications according to IEC/EN 62061 in order to achieve a safety integrity level of SIL3.
