5. Operating Principle
Multifunctional relays comprise a power supply unit, pulse generator, isolation
amplifier and switching amplifier, which serves to increase the switching capacity,
while as the control loop is connected to low voltage. The switching capacity of
reed contacts is very often exceeded especially by switching capacitive &
inductive loads; this causes the reed contacts to stick – thus giving rise to
dangerous functional faults.
A contact protection relay is used to eliminate this problem by significantly
improving the switch capacity and service life of the reed contacts.
In addition, types MSR-010 and MSR-020 have a time response. The chatter
effect is thus almost totally eliminated, resulting in no switching operation taking
place when the contact opens or closes briefly. The switching operation is thus
clearly defined. Type MSR-011 is a bistable interval relay with latching and is thus
suitable for an interval switching, for example for pump control. Design and
construction of the contact protection relay satisfy VDE regulations 0110
insulation class c/250 V. The housing, made of polyamide 6.6, can be mounted
by clip-on mounting on 35 x 7.5 mm rail (according to DIN 50022), or panel-
mounted, by individual screw attachment.
Available models:
MSR 010 Monostable contact protection relay for connection of a single
contact, e. g. limit value switches types S-1 / M-1 or S-2 / M-2.
MSR 020 Monostable contact protection relay for connection of one double
or two single contacts, e. g. limit value switches types S-1 / M-1 or
S-22 / M-22.
MSR 011 Bistable contact protection relay for connection of two contacts
(interval operation). With this bistable version, the switching
condition of one contact is memorized temporarily (latched) until
the other contact is operated (No permanent storage - unlatched).
