FAQs


What are safety relays and what are they used for?

Safety relays are certified switching devices that reliably monitor safety-critical processes. They detect signals from safety equipment such as emergency stop buttons, safety doors, light grids, and two-hand control switches, and switch machines off quickly and safely.

Typical functions:

  • Emergency stop monitoring
  • Safety door monitoring
  • Two-hand operation
  • Zero-speed monitoring
  • Muting and operating mode selection
  • Safe motion monitoring and safe movement monitoring

Phoenix Contact has a broad portfolio of safety relays for applications up to PL e/SIL 3.
