The Telemecanique XPS-BC is a sophisticated safety relay designed to enhance the operational safety of industrial machinery. This component is part of the XPS Series and is specifically engineered to serve as a Two Hand Controller, ensuring that machinery can only be operated when both of an operator's hands are engaged, thereby preventing accidental activation.
Crafted with precision, the XPS-BC operates with a supply voltage of 24 V dc and 230 V ac, making it versatile for various industrial settings. Its dimensions of 120 x 78 x 45 mm allow for convenient integration into electrical control panels without demanding excessive space.
The safety relay is compliant with stringent international safety standards, including EN 574 Type IIIC, EN/IEC 60204-1, and EN/ISO 13849-1, which certifies its reliability and effectiveness in critical safety applications. With a Performance Level (PL) e and Category 4 rating according to EN/ISO 13849-1, the XPS-BC offers one of the highest levels of safety integrity for control systems.
The dual-channel control and synchronous action monitoring feature ensure that the safety relay responds only when both control actuating devices are engaged within a 0.5-second window, enhancing the safety measures to prevent unintentional machine start-ups.
The XPS-BC is equipped with two normally open (NO) safety contacts and one normally closed (NC) signalling circuit, providing clear and reliable feedback on the operational status of the machinery. This feedback is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment and for the immediate diagnosis of system issues.
Ideal for applications requiring repeated manual entry into hazardous areas, such as presses or other machinery where operator interaction is frequent, the Telemecanique XPS-BC safety relay is a vital component for maintaining high safety standards in industrial operations across the United Kingdom and beyond.
