Machine safety design
16 April, 2011There comes a point in machine safety design when the designer needs to decide if it makes more sense to use multiple safety relays or to upgrade to a safety controller.
OLD Machine safety design
18 March, 2011 by Mike Garrick, Product Marketing Lead Specialist, Interface Relays, Phoenix ContactThere comes a point in machine safety design when the designer needs to decide if it makes more sense to use multiple safety relays or to upgrade to a safety controller. This point typically occurs when the application requires three or more safety relays. This article focuses on some of the issues that designers must consider when determining whether a safety relay or a safety controller is the best solution for a particular job.
