Safety relay PNOZ s6.1

The safety relay can be used as a two-hand control relay or for simultaneity monitoring.
The safety relay meets the requirements of EN 60947-5-1, EN 60204-1 and VDE 0113-1
and may be used in applications with
} E-STOP pushbuttons
} Safety gates
The two-hand control relay meets the requirements of EN 574 Type IIIA. It forces the oper-
ator to keep his hands outside the danger zone area during the hazardous movement. It is
designed for use in two-hand circuits.

ATTENTION!
The two-hand control relay may not be used on press controllers. It is only
suitable for use where the risk analysis has established a low level of risk
(e.g. EN 954-1 Cat. 1 and EN ISO 13849-1 Cat. 1).

For your safety

} Only install and commission the unit if you have read and understood these operating
instructions and are familiar with the applicable regulations for health and safety at work
and accident prevention.
Ensure VDE and local regulations are met, especially those relating to safety.
} Any guarantee is rendered invalid if the housing is opened or unauthorised modifica-
tions are carried out.
} The supply voltage for the two-hand relay must only be connected after the shutdown
device in accordance with § 9 VBG 7n5.1/2.
} To avoid inductive and capacitance coupling, the cables between the two-hand relay
and the pushbuttons must be run separately to any power cables.
} On account of the low currents you should use gold-plated pushbutton contacts.

Unit features
} Positive-guided relay outputs:
– 3 safety contacts (N/O), instantaneous
– 1 auxiliary contact (N/C), instantaneous
} 1 semiconductor output
} Connection options for:
– 2 control elements (pushbuttons)
– Emergency stop pushbutton
– Safety gate limit switches
} A connector can be used to connect 1 PNOZsigma contact expansion module
} LED for:
– Supply voltage
– Input status, channel 1

Safety features
The safety relay meets the following safety requirements:
} The safety relay prevents the plant from being enabled in the following cases:
– Power supply failure
– Component failure
– Short circuit on an input circuit
– Coil defect
– Open circuit
– Earth fault
} In each on-off cycle, the output relays on the safety device are tested to ensure they
open and close correctly
} The unit has an electronic fuse.

Function description
} The safety relay must be activated by simultaneously pressing two control elements
(pushbuttons) within 0,5 s . If one or both pushbuttons are released or the contacts
open, the unit interrupts the control command for the hazardous movement.
} Reactivation: The output relays will not re-energise until both control elements have
been released and re-operated simultaneously or the contacts have opened and then
closed.

Installation
Install base unit without contact expansion module:
} Ensure that the plug terminator is inserted at the side of the unit.
Connect base unit and PNOZsigma contact expansion module:
} Remove the plug terminator at the side of the base unit and at the contact expansion
module.
} Connect the base unit and the contact expansion module to the supplied connector be-
fore mounting the units to the DIN rail.
Installation in control cabinet
} The safety relay should be installed in a control cabinet with a protection type of at least
IP54.
} Use the notch on the rear of the unit to attach it to a DIN rail (35 mm).
} When installed vertically: Secure the unit by using a fixing element (e.g. retaining brack-
et or end angle).
} Push the device upwards or downwards before lifting it from the DIN rail.

Wiring
Please note:
} Information given in the "Technical details" must be followed.
} Outputs 13-14, 23-24, 33-34 are safety contacts; output 41-42 is an auxiliary contact
(e.g. for display).
} Auxiliary contact 41-42 and semiconductor output Y32 should not be used for safety
circuits!
} To prevent contact welding, a fuse should be connected before the output contacts (see
technical details).
} Calculation of the max. cable length lmax in the input circuit:




Rlmax = max. overall cable resistance (see technical details)
Rl / km = cable resistance/km
} Use copper wire that can withstand 60/75 °C.
} Sufficient fuse protection must be provided on all output contacts with capacitive and in-
ductive loads.

Operation
The unit is ready for operation when the Power LED is permanently lit.
LEDs indicate the status and errors during operation:

LED on

LED flashes

Information
Status indicators and error indicators may occur independently. In the case
of an error display, the "Fault" LED will light or flash (exception: "Supply
voltage too low"). An LED that is also flashing indicates the potential cause
of the error. An LED that is lit and is static indicates a normal operating sta-
tus. Several status indicators and error indicators may occur simultaneously.

Power
Supply voltage is present.

In1
Pushbutton at S13 is operated.

In2

Faults - malfunctions
} Contact malfunctions: If the contacts have welded, reactivation will not be possible after
the input circuit has opened.

Service life graph

The service life graphs indicate the number of cycles from which failures due to wear must
be expected. The wear is mainly caused by the electrical load; the mechanical load is negli-
gible.
UB 24 VDC

Example
} Inductive load: 0,2 A
} Utilisation category: AC15
} Contact service life: 2,000,000 cycles
Provided the application requires fewer than 2,000,000 cycles, the PFH value (see techni-
cal details) can be used in the calculation.
To increase the service life, sufficient spark suppression must be provided on all output
contacts. With capacitive loads, any power surges that occur must be noted. With contac-
tors, use freewheel diodes for spark suppression.

function

All the units used within a safety function must be considered when calculating the safety
characteristic data.

Information
A safety function's SIL/PL values are not identical to the SIL/PL values of
the units that are used and may be different. We recommend that you use
the PAScal software tool to calculate the safety function's SIL/PL values.

ATTENTION!
It is essential to consider the relay's service life graphs. The relay outputs'
safety-related characteristic data is only valid if the values in the service life
graphs are met.

The PFH value depends on the switching frequency and the load on the relay output. If the
service life graphs are not accessible, the stated PFH value can be used irrespective of the
switching frequency and the load, as the PFH value already considers the relay's B10d val-
ue as well as the failure rates of the other components.
