Configurable Safety Relay

Feb. 1, 2004
A multifunctional, configurable safety relay that complies with global machine safety standards is billed by the vendor as a practical and affordable alternative to safety PLCs, because it doesn’t require replacing legacy programmable logic controllers to achieve compliance.

The Telemecanique Preventa XPS-MC safety relay is designed for applications requiring multiple safety functions. It features 22 certified safety functions for applications that must conform to category 4 of EN 954-1. These functions, which include monitoring of emergency stops or guard covers, two-hand control, coded magnetic switches, zero speed detection, and mats or security light barriers, can be configured with XPS MCWIN software running under Windows. Two versions of the safety relay are available, with either 16 safety outputs and 20 outputs or 32 inputs and 10 outputs.
