E-STOP relays, safety gate monitors
Up to Category 2, EN 954-1
PNOZ X7
Safety relay for monitoring E-STOP
pushbuttons.
Approvals
PNOZ X7
Unit features
` Positive-guided relay outputs:
– 2 safety contacts (N/O), instanta-
neous
` Connection options for:
– E-STOP pushbutton
– Reset button
` LED indicator for:
– Switch status channel 1/2
– Supply voltage
` See order reference for unit types
Unit description
The safety relay meets the requirements of EN 60204-1 and IEC 602041 and may be used in applications with
` E-STOP pushbuttons
The safety relay is not suitable for noncontact barriers because
` a dynamic start is not possible
` the unit can be started during the
delay-on de-energisation time.
Safety features
The relay conforms to the following
safety criteria:
` The circuit is redundant with built-in
self-monitoring.
` The safety function remains effecti-
ve in the case of a component failure.
` The correct opening and closing of
the safety function relays is tested
automatically in each on-off cycle.

should be connected before the
output contacts (see technical details).
