What constitutes a safe coupling relay?
Applications in the process industry are fundamentally different from those in the manufacturing industry. As such, safety technology must meet different requirements in this industry.
Safe coupling relays are often used in process technology systems; they electrically isolate and amplify the power of electrical signals for functional safety. Phoenix Contact has developed SIL-certified coupling relays to meet the demands of process technology applications.
Why do I need an SIL-certified coupling relay?
Phoenix Contact has force-guided coupling relays and safe force-guided coupling relays in its portfolio. Forced guidance uses mechanical means to prevent N/O and N/C contacts from closing at the same time. This technology therefore provides the highest level of functional safety.
The safe coupling relays are also SIL-certified. SIL, or safety integrity level, is a method for assessing a system’s reliability. Levels SIL 1, SIL 2, and SIL 3 must always be viewed in relation to the hazard.
If you choose our SIL-certified coupling relay, you will not need to conduct an assessment. The SIL coupling relays have been tested and certified by an independent institute. All safety-related characteristics are therefore available. You can also carry out comprehensive diagnostics with an integrated test pulse filter.
Properties of PSR coupling relays
The Phoenix Contact product portfolio features SIL-certified coupling relays for safe switch-on (also known as fire and gas or energized to safe) and for safe shutdown (emergency shutdown or de-energized). Our safe coupling relays meet the specific demands of the process industry – including for use in potentially explosive areas.
