Safety Relay – for emergency stop and safety gate monitoring, 24VAC/VDC, 2NO, DIN
Safety relay designed for safety circuits in industrial equipment, monitoring of emergency stop buttons, and safety gate/door limit switches. The relay features 2 N/O safety contacts, positively driven relay outputs, manual reset monitoring, LED indication, and is mounted on a DIN rail. It is a compact 22.5 mm wide safety control component for automation, manufacturing, and process control systems.
Core concept:
This safety relay is used when reliable monitoring of an emergency stop button, safety gate switch, or other safety circuit element is required. It helps ensure that hazardous equipment is stopped or prevented from starting until safety conditions meet the specified circuit design.Model

DIN railOperating principle
The safety relay monitors the connected emergency stop button, safety gate limit switch, or other safety circuit device. When the safety circuit is closed and startup conditions are met, the relay can engage the safety outputs. If an emergency button is pressed, the gate is opened, or the safety circuit is interrupted, the safety contacts are switched off according to the system design.
The PNOZ X2 series relay includes manual reset monitoring, ensuring that the equipment does not automatically return to operation after a safety circuit trip without an additional reset action. LED indicators help to quickly evaluate the relay status: power supply, channel 1, and channel 2 status.
Why use a safety relay?
A safety relay is used to process signals from emergency stops, safety gates, or other safety devices more reliably than a standard control relay. Such devices are used in machine safety circuits where it is crucial to control the starting, stopping, and status of hazardous machinery.Technical parameters

- Emergency stop circuits – for monitoring the status of E-STOP buttons and controlling safety outputs.
- Safety gate and door systems – for monitoring safety limit switches.
- Industrial equipment – in the safety circuits of machines, mechanisms, and production lines.
- Automation and process control systems – when a dedicated safety relay is required in the control circuit.
- Power control systems – when safety contacts are used to disconnect contactors, drives, or other control elements according to the schematic.
Practical mounting example
For example, the safety relay is installed in an automation cabinet on a DIN rail. An emergency stop button or safety gate limit switch is connected to the inputs, along with a manual reset button. The safety outputs are used to control contactors, drive control circuits, or other machine stopping elements according to the specific safety schematic.
When the E-STOP button is pressed or the safety gate is opened, the relay switches off the safety outputs. After the cause has been cleared, the system can be reset via the manual reset button, provided all safety conditions meet the design requirements.
Advantages
- Renowned manufacturer Pilz – widely used in industrial safety automation solutions.
- 2 N/O safety contacts – suitable for controlling safety circuits as per project requirements.
- 24VAC/VDC supply – flexible application in automation cabinets.
- Manual reset monitoring – helps prevent automatic restart after a safety circuit trip.
- LED indication – easier to determine the status of power and channels.
- Compact 22.5 mm housing – saves space on the DIN rail in the automation cabinet.
- Suitable for E-STOP and safety gate monitoring – versatile application in machine safety circuits.
Disadvantages / limitations
- Correct safety schematic is mandatory – the relay must be selected based on risk assessment and machine safety project.
- Only 2 N/O safety contacts – more complex systems may require more outputs or additional safety modules.
- 6 A contact limit – for larger loads, contactors or intermediate control elements must be used.
- IP rating depends on mounting location – enclosure protection and environmental conditions must be evaluated in the automation cabinet.
- Does not replace a complete safety project – proper sensors, contactors, stopping circuits, and a documented safety solution are essential.
Safety and installation notes
The safety relay is a component of a machine safety circuit. It must be selected, connected, and tested according to the specific machine's risk assessment, safety function requirements, the manufacturer's manual, and applicable standards.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified automation or electrical professional with experience in machine safety circuits.
- Before starting work, disconnect power and verify that there is no voltage in the control and power circuits.
- Do not use as a generic universal relay – this is a device designed for safety circuits, which must be connected according to the safety schematic.
- Contact load must not exceed specified limits – 6 A, 240VAC, or 24VDC as per the provided specifications.
- Perform a functional test – the operation of the E-STOP, gate switch, reset, and safety outputs must be verified before commissioning.
- Do not bypass or bridge safety circuits – this can cause danger to human life and equipment.
