Monitoring relays - The inexpensive solution for monitoring key system parameters

Monitoring relays

Monitoring relays are an inexpensive solution for monitoring important electrical and physical system parameters. EMD monitoring relays can be used to monitor overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, undercurrent, phase failure, phase sequence, phase asymmetry, power factor, active power, motor winding temperature, and fill levels.

Your advantages

  • Increase system availability and reduce downtime
  • Easy configuration with user-friendly user interface
  • Targeted control or shutdown when a limit value is exceeded or not met

Experience the versatility of the MACX-MR monitoring relay with its extended setting options, wide measuring range and wide supply voltage range. The electrical isolation of the measuring and supply circuit guarantees you high safety and accuracy.

Smartphone with configuration app for monitoring relays

Use the many options of the smartphone app to intuitively configure your monitoring relay. The extended functions include the readout and transfer of stored settings to additional monitoring relays as well as the availability of device information. A function diagram, a description, and a reminder function in the event of setting errors have been integrated into the app to ensure that making the settings is even more intuitive. The MACX-MR app is used to perform an accurate parameter configuration, which is downloaded to the device in batches. Protect the configurations of the monitoring relay against unauthorized access using a PIN code.

The devices of the EMD-BL series stand out in particular due to their slim design and belong to the compact monitoring relays of our product family. With the increasing amounts of electronics in the control cabinet, lack of space is a constant challenge. With the space-saving design, our monitoring relay is ideally suited for building installation and series production.

Two monitoring relays with one line wired via push-in direct-connection technology

Reduce wiring time many times over with the proven push-in direct-connection technology. Without tools and up to 50% lower insertion forces, you reduce not only the time required but also process costs. Both voltage and phase monitoring relays are quickly installed because they are supplied from the measuring circuit.

Monitoring relay with screwdriver for setting parameters via rotary switch

Desired parameters, such as monitoring ranges and tripping delay, are set conveniently via rotary switches on the front of the housing. Easy-to-read LEDs also allow rapid on-site analysis.

Conveyor drive with motor, connector, and connection to the monitoring relay

Current monitoring: Check electrical loads for functionality or wire breaks with undercurrent monitoring and avoid overload situations or blockages with overcurrent monitoring.

Phase monitoring: Monitor all phase parameters (phase failure, phase sequence, and asymmetry) in a 3-phase network

Temperature monitoring: Detect motor heating with temperature-dependent resistors that activate the relay to signal.

Voltage monitoring: Protect machinery and equipment from the damaging effects of overvoltages and undervoltages.
