Carlo Gavazzi Offers Solid State Relays and Contactors with Integrated Monitoring
April 22, 2020
The RG..M Series solid state relays and and contactors from Carlo Gavazzi incorporate monitoring functions for fast failure detection on top of the switching capability in a slim 17.8 mm platform. Timely failure detection eliminates the need for re-work and prevents scrap, leading to better production throughput and better quality products. Detection for mains loss, load loss, SSR open and short circuit, SSR internal fault and supply out of range are now possible without a need for external components. The RG..M of solid state contactors and relays is equipped with an alarm LED for visual indication of fault presence, and an alarm transistor output for remote signaling.
The RG..M solid state relays are available with either an integrated heatsink, RGC..M or without the heatsink, RGS..M. Ratings go up to 660 VAC, 65 AAC (for the RGC..M) and 90 AAC (for the RGS..M). The RG..M Series is controlled with a 4 to 32VDC input signal, and must be supplied with 24 VDC.
Typical applications for the RG..M include plastic processing machinery, packaging machines, semiconductor machines, wood manufacturing machinery and drying equipment, in a situation, when an immediate detection of load or relay failure is required.
The RG..M adds to the portfolio of RG SSRs with monitoring, which already includes single-phase SSRs with partial load loss detection and 2 and 3-phase devices with system monitoring.
