Match the component to the engineered safety function

Choose safety equipment within the documented machine safety design. A product family name or contact count alone does not establish suitability for a protective function.

  1. 01

    Identify the intended safety function

    Record the device role and the safety-system requirements from the machine design.

    • Safety function
    • Input devices
    • System requirements
  2. 02

    Match inputs, outputs and timing

    Compare the exact relay input arrangement, output contacts, timing functions and reset behavior.

    • Input configuration
    • Output contacts
    • Reset and timing
  3. 03

    Check the installed architecture

    Review supply, wiring, connected devices and the exact manufacturer application documentation.

Safety control questions

Practical checks for identifying, selecting and replacing controller hardware.

Can I select a safety relay by the number of contacts alone?

No. The required function, input arrangement, output type, timing, reset behavior and the complete safety-system design also determine the selection.
