The Siemens SIRIUS Series Safety Relay, part number 3SK1211-1BW20, is a sophisticated and reliable component designed for seamless integration into safety systems within industrial environments. This safety relay is an output expansion module that features four normally open (NO) contacts for relay enabling circuits, along with an additional normally closed (NC) contact for relay signalling purposes.
Crafted to operate with a supply voltage ranging from 110 to 240 V ac/dc, the 3SK1211-1BW20 ensures flexibility and compatibility with various power systems. The unit's screw terminal connection offers a secure and durable means of integrating the relay into existing setups.
With dimensions of 22.5 x 121.6 x 100 mm, this compact device is engineered to fit neatly into control panels without occupying excessive space, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is at a premium. The relay's enclosure is rated at IP20, providing a basic level of protection against solid objects and ensuring that the internal components are finger-safe.
The 3SK1211-1BW20 is designed to meet stringent safety standards, boasting a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of 3 according to IEC 61508, a Performance Level (PL) of e to EN ISO 13849-1, and a Category 4 according to EN ISO 13849-1. These certifications underscore the relay's capability to function as a critical part of a safety system, helping to manage and mitigate risks in industrial processes.
This safety relay is suitable for Class A environments only, as it may cause undesired radio-frequency interference in residential settings. In such cases, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent interference.
The Siemens SIRIUS Series Safety Relay is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality, reliability, and safety in industrial automation. It is an essential component for those seeking to enhance the safety and functionality of their control systems.
