AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “When to Use Multi-Function Safety Relays” that explains how to determine when applications will benefit from multi-function safety relays ...

The PSR-MXF multifunctional safety relay is the newest addition to the Phoenix Contact PSR safety relay line. This relay can help small and medium machine builders reduce cost and save space. The ...

When it comes to electronics, it seems like a relay is such a simple device – yet, it is able to interface some pretty elaborate high-end systems with a fire alarm system. Working with relays is an ...

Factory equipment continues to become increasingly intelligent in large part due to the improved processing power and communication abilities found within underlying controllers, sensors, and ...

Electroswitch control switch relays (CSR) combine the function of a control switch with a remote-controlled solenoid, allowing one device to do both the manual and supervisory control function in the ...

If you're curious about the function of a relay in the context of home automation and the Internet of Things, here you go. In this piece, we'll explain the practical applications of many different ...

In this Design Idea, we look at how electromechanical relays display hysteresis behavior that is surprisingly similar to the solid-state Schmitt trigger circuits, and how they can be used for many ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

The six safety vital relays developed by Clearsy France are the very first self-controlled safety vital relays guaranteeing opening of their NO contacts at a SIL4 level. Since 2016, these safety vital ...

The TERMOPTO solid-state family of relays functions as both a terminal block for signal connection and a relay to separate signals, all in one compact module (with a width of just 6 mm). The relays ...
