Each channel independently monitors a safety device—such as an emergency stop actuator or a protective door interlock—ensuring redundancy and preventing single-point failure. When both channels present a closed, stable signal, the relay energizes and provides a. In most of the following examples that show dual-channel applications, one interlock switch is shown switching both channels (one contact set per channel). If foreseeable damage (for example, at the actuator mounting point) could allow the guard to be opened without operating the switch, then two. The dual-channel relay module is more or less the same as a single-channel relay module, but with some extra features like optical isolation. The dual-channel relay module can be used to switch mains powered loads from the pins of a microcontroller. The comprehensive coverage of common safety functions allows flexible configuration and adaptation to individual requirements.
