We will give an outlook on current designs, normative requirements and relay technology in the field of forcibly guided relays. The design criteria for safety applications will be highlighted, and future trends in the industry and design features of the components will be outlined within this dedicated webinar.
Overview
Functional safety to protect man and machine remains a key requirement in the constantly growing automation market.
Relays with forcibly guided contacts in accordance with EN 61810-3 are one way of achieving this requirement. But how do safety relays differ from conventional electromechanical relays and how can they be designed quickly, simply and easily?
Some innovations in the relay sector allow future safety applications to be realized in ever smaller housings with higher energy efficiency. This presentation will discuss how relays with forcibly guided contacts contribute to functional safety and which features are important for future applications.
Agenda:
- What role do relays with forcibly guided contacts play in automation technology?
- Special requirements for a relay with forcibly guided contacts
- Advantages of relays with forcibly guided contacts for new developments
- Outlook on tomorrow's trends
Key Takeaways
- Understand the difference between standard industrial relays and relays with forcibly guided contacts
- Review application trends in industrial automation, with an emphasis on safety-driven uses
- Explore future developments in this field
