Safety Sensors and Safety Relay

Non-contact fail-safe sensor (part no. GM701S) -
can be connected to any standard safety relay and safety plc

  • Compact housing, 40 x 40 mm
  • Sensing range up to 10 - 15 mm — provides a high tolerance to misalignment and nuisance tripping in shock and vibration environments
  • Uses ifm's "window technology" that continuously detects a target within its enable zone — window; window technology also compensates for conventional approach angles and closing door angles
  • Two PNP outputs that can be connected to any standard safety plc as well as ifm's safety relay, part no. GI501S
  • Self-monitoring circuit verifies that the unit is functioning correctly
  • Cross-fault detection prevents short circuiting
  • Setup and output status LEDs
  • Rated for the highest levels of safety under IEC61508, EN954-1

Additional non-contact fail-safe sensors with clock-output are available. These sensors may be connected in a series.

Multi-functional fail-safe relay (part no. G1501S) - connects various mechanical safety devices such as light curtains, emergency stops, two-hand control and ifm non-contact fail-safe sensors

  • Space-saving 22.5 mm wide housing, provides up to 50% space savings in a control cabinet
  • Eliminates the need for multiple product-specific relays and reduces relay stock levels
  • Two N.O. safety outputs – contacts rated for 6 amps.
  • Solid-state auxilliary non-safety output feedback to plc
  • Dual channel safety devices can be configured to monitor simultaneous logic and cross-fault detection across the inputs
  • Selectable manual or automatic reset
  • Rated for the highest levels of safety under IEC61508, EN954-1, EN574 type IIIC.
