The Schmersal Group has introduced a new family of safety relay modules to the market. A major advantage of the new PROTECT SRB-E range is that with each basic version, several dozen existing safety relay modules can be replaced thanks to the multi-functionality of PROTECT SRB-E.
Each module can be configured for up to eleven different applications via a simple control element. All conventional safety sensors and electromechanical safety equipment can be monitored.
One version of the new PROTECT SRB-E range is also distinguished by p-type fail-safe power semi-conductor outputs up to 5.5 A. This SRB-E variant is particularly suited to fail-safe applications with high switching capacity in conjunction with short cycle times, other versions are equipped with a combination of secure relay outputs and Si-semi-conductor outputs of cat.
4 / PL e or with an input extension for up to four sensors, which can also be monitored up to a performance level of PL e. A combined version makes it possible to monitor two safety functions with one device, such as a two-hand control panel and an emergency stop function. The fail-safe outputs are available separately can be linked by the user according to the application.
The new SRB-E Modules are designed to replace the existing series from Schmersal in the coming years, though these are still available until further notice.
