For very heavy and hazardous machinery that does not stop quickly, a reliable safety signal indicating the machine’s stop is crucial for safety. Often, such applications use safety relays based on delayed timing. However, this approach may not always provide sufficient protection, which is why there are safety relays available that monitor stopping through two different techniques.
Pizzato’s affordable CS AM zero-speed relays operate based on motor voltage monitoring, using Back EMF. When the voltage reaches zero, the relay indicates that the motion has stopped. After stopping, it allows actions like unlocking safety gates. The CS AM relay does not require external sensors, as monitoring is done directly from the motor voltage.
The CS AM zero-speed relay can also be retrofitted to monitor the stopping of older machinery in both direct-drive and variable frequency drive applications.
