Allen-Bradley® Guardmaster® Safety Relays from Rockwell Automation check and monitor a safety system and either allow the machine to start or execute commands to stop the machine or control safety-related functions. Single-function safety relays are the most economical solution for smaller machines where a dedicated logic device is needed to complete the safety function. Modular and configurable safety relays are preferred where a large and diverse number of safeguarding devices and minimal zone control are required.

Machine safety systems have evolved from strictly hardwired systems, where safety and standard logic were separate, to the multifaceted spectrum of newer programmable systems with varying levels of cost, complexity, and wiring methods. When designing safety into machinery, engineers must verify compliance with today’s more-stringent standards and determine how safety will interplay with productivity to keep downtime to a minimum. Engineers also should consider how flexible and scalable a safety system will be with evolving operations.
