As the 'Serious Accident Punishment Act' officially came into effect last month, companies are working to improve systems and supplement personnel to ensure worker safety in order to reduce the risk of accidents at manufacturing sites. Meanwhile, Schneider Electric has introduced a safety relay module to improve worker efficiency and safety.

Schneider Electric announced on the 16th that it has released a new version of the Schneider Electric 'Harmony XPS Safety Relay module' for worker safety.

Schneider Electric's Safety Chain products collect and monitor information to ensure the safety of equipment and workers, and process the generated data to support a series of equipment operation processes.

Schneider Electric's newly launched 'Harmony XPS Safety Relay module' is a product that processes collected information and was created with the user's business efficiency and convenience in mind.

Previously, 28 items with different functions were introduced, but the product line has been reduced to 10, allowing safety functions that were previously divided across multiple products to be used in a single product.

This allows users to OEM Not only does it make ordering parts easier, it also reduces the burden of maintaining inventory.

In terms of functionality, it has the advantage of being able to quickly check information about errors detected in the safety circuit.

It can identify product status and error information with over 40 different pulse pattern signals, allowing you to plan device verification tests and maintenance schedules before problems occur, and can also be linked with other PLCs.

In terms of design, all products feature detachable two-row terminal blocks at the top and bottom, supporting both spring and screw types. This part is also detachable, making installation and maintenance convenient.

The LED status indicator on the front of the product allows users to easily check various operating conditions even under adverse conditions, and the front protective transparent cover protects the dial to prevent manipulation and malfunction of the rotary switch.

In addition, it has a side connector for connecting expansion modules, allowing for easy additional expansion without separate wiring or cumbersome work, and it is equipped with a wall-mounting function in addition to a standard DIN rail, allowing attachment to a wall or panel.

Users can easily access various product information and technical data provided on the website anytime, anywhere by scanning the QR code applied to the front of the module with a mobile device, saving time and money in finding various technical information required for product setup, installation, and maintenance.

“We are moving globally toward developing and enforcing robust safety standards to ensure worker safety,” said Park Yoon-kook, head of offer marketing for the Industrial Automation Business Unit. “We will fulfill our role as a partner by providing solutions for workplace safety.”
